We have stayed here before. We like it because it is out of the way, but close enough to New Plymouth itself, in a garden setting, with a large park area for kids to play on. Close to the Ratanui Gardens scenic site.
Inexpensive, comfortable, and very accommodating hosts.
ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND! We recently took a road trip and was fortunate to book the refurbished cottage here. Situated serenely approximately 9 mins drive from the city centre, Ratanui Villas not only boasts beautifully kept grounds (great for pets) but the villa was perfect for my family and our pup. The staff were also kind and readily available. We definitely regretted not booking here longer and will 100% re-book in the future.
