Welcome. My home is your home for your stay. Very private but also in the village of Okato. Many beaches all within a short drive. Skatepark accessible from an adjoining gate. Shared bathroom, Kitchen, lounge, dining, laundry, deck, and garden area all available for your stay. If you have a little dog companion, they are very welcome. Anything you need, please feel free to ask.
I have spent the last 18 months travelling solo and loved my stays in private accomodation. Therefore opening my home to other travellers was something I looked forward to doing.
Okato is a small village 18 min drive from New Plymouth and 10 min drive from Oakura. There is a Four Square which is a 2 minute walk away available for groceries if you need and an award winning cafe just across the road.
