Ekhaya - New Plymouth Holiday Home

Great location, very comfortable, would definitely stay again

N/A

Great Location.

We found hair in the bed on one of the room that’s not acceptable.

It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The fire place cranks out amazing heat. So many lovely little touches, especially a cupboard of doggy treats, toys and blankets. Also a beautiful little garden!

Lovely to have chocolates waiting on arrival. The fire kept us warm and cosy and pumpkin soup in the freezer was delicious! Very safe and secure and great space for a dog. So close to the beach and also a nice walk along the stream. Little shopping centre very close by as well.

We really appreciated being able to bring our dog with us, as pet-friendly accommodation in New Plymouth was quite scarce during ANZAC weekend. The spa bath was a fantastic feature, and we also loved the cupboard stocked with extra dog blankets and bowls. The frozen lasagna was a thoughtful addition, particularly helpful when we were hungry late at night and many restaurants in Bell Block were closed for the holiday.It was such a cozy place to stay, and we loved the energy in the house, which pays homage to the owner's South African heritage.

It was private , quite and great location

Ekhaya is the Zulu word for home and Liz and Mike ensire the holiday home feels like home. Ekhaya is clean, comfortable and a stones throw from the beach. Take away and groceries are not too far away and would be an easy enough walk should you feel inclined. If I go to New Plymouth again, this would be my first call for accommodation.

We have stayed at this location before and chose it again because we liked everything about it - the location (very close to shops and beach and other locations of interest). Lookout (view) is of the Taranaki walkway beside the coast, so lots of Pohutukawa trees coming into bloom and SO many birds. Our hosts we had met before and again, friendly, helpful and made us feel very comfortable. Thoughtful touches like the large bottle of milk in the fridge, food in the freezer and chocolates. So clean. The garden is wonderful and enclosed by a high fence giving us total privacy. I was quite excited by the electronic gate opener.

I cant think of anything that could have been better.
