Top place, so pleasant! Came with my wife for three nights. The room is neat, bed and sheets are super comfy. You get nice towels and really good breakfast! The bathroom is shared with the other bedroom but no issues there, the bedrooms were quiet as well, so we got a good night sleeps. You can cook in the kitchenette. The whole place is super clean and is basically a **** hotel. The owners are also really nice! We were so happy, definitely staying here next time we are around

The homestay offers bed linen, towels and laundry service.

The area is popular for cycling and hiking, and free use of bicycles is available at the homestay. An indoor play area is also available at Hideaway Off Heta, while guests can also relax in the garden.

My part of the house included my own lounge, bathroom, and spacious bedroom. It was totally private. The bed was comfortable and the temperature just right. The breakfast was more than adequate.

Amazing location close to the Mangorei/Pouakai track to visit the Tarns. George is a wonderful host, extremely hospitable and attentive to visitor’s needs. The location and property are extremely well-maintained and we caught a real treat with an exceptionally clear night sky, shooting stars and a clear view of the Magellanic Clouds. Would highly recommend.

    George is a really nice guy with a beautiful homestay, close to MT Taranaki. We stayed here two nights and shared our stay with 2 more people. The house is pretty big so we had plenty of room to chill, cook and do our own thing.

    Great value for all that is provided. Nice large bedroom with en suite. There was a heat pump in the room. Very quiet and peaceful. Great to have a fridge and tea making facilities in the room so you could be private if you wanted to be. Lovely outlook to the trees at the back of the dining area. Great value for money. Bobby and Ian are great hosts. The location is close to the central city.
