16 Havelock

Location was in a quiet suburban area but close to city centre. From the balcony, you could sit in comfortable chairs and take in the magnificent view of Mt. Taranaki. Bed was very comfortable with bathroom nearby. Loved the wall paper in the toilet with goldfish and water lillies, showing the Japanese influence of owner, Fujiko. As the owners have chickens, you get very fresh eggs for your breakfast with homemade bread, cooked by Brad. Coffee and tea making facilities are on the kitchen bench for you to make anytime. There are three cats but you will only see the two boys, who like pats. Brad, an ex-Aussie, is a great conversationalist on many topics and about the area and history of New Zealand. An amazing value for a B & B in New Plymouth.

Nothing, all good. Note that you will have to park in the street and a bit of a haul up the steps if you want to take suitcases up. We just took what we needed for the night to our room.
