The house is beautiful and the little outside area and garden are lovely. The downsides are that the wifi is terrible & the house is adjacent to a busy road which has enormous trucks travelling to or from the port all through the night. While the accommodation is wonderful, you have to be a very heavy sleeper to endure the noise & shaking caused by the trucks.
Arriving at The Front Office was like walking into a Somerset Maugham novel with the large outdoor palms, the solid leather and wood furniture and the classical library all set in large generous open spaces. We loved the open-plan kitchen/ dining area which provided a perfect place to come together, and share the cooking.
We loved the large amount of space at this lodging! Each bedroom had plenty of space, including large closets for unpacking and storing your clothes. The kitchen is large with plenty of accessories for cooking. The master room and ensuite felt luxurious, with lots of room and comfortable bed. The location is a bit unusual, as it's located at one end of a large parking lot, and next to a fairly busy road. But we didn't hear noise from the road while we were inside the home. I recommend this location if you are looking for larger spaces.
Great property, everything we needed! Short walk to the Coastal Walkway and new kids play facility. Property was faultless with great facilities. We can definitely recommend this property and New Plymouth and would love to stay again!
A spacious house with good amenities and some interesting history. Nice and clean. Only downsides were the keybox was hard to locate and to get to the third bedroom you had to go through the 2nd bedroom. Overall very positive.
A superb getaway and a perfect retreat to catch up with friends. A funky, fantastically well renovated ex-law office that had all the comforts. Expectation was well exceeded.
Highly recommend.
We stayed there over the weekend. Loved the spacious leaving room, rooms and beautiful master bathroom.
Kitchen was modern and fancy with changing colours of the lights under the cabinets.
We enjoyed the stay! Thank you!
Handy location. Great property. Everything we required, especially having two bathrooms as there were 4 women in our group and we needed to leave early in the morning each day. A great place to come home to too relax!
Great property. Handy location. Well equipped with anything needed.
Down sides noise from road (expected)
Second bedroom was to light.
Property maintenance taken while we were staying there.
Loved staying here. We were initially surprised by the location as it sits within the Mitre 10 carpark however once inside it is spacious, clean and very private. We stayed over a long weekend which saw a lot of rain so the house offered a great refuge for us. Unfortunately we didnât get to utilise the outdoor BBQ and dining area but this would be great for afternoon lunch or dinners.
The kitchen is huge and had everything we needed. The bedrooms are also very large and comfortable. Itâs been beautifully renovated. We would recommend this house and hope to return.
