My wife and I were pleasantly surprised with the very warm welcome received from hosts, Paul and Margaret. The company was excellent. We felt very at home. It was like visiting friends. It was the best sleep we ever had sleeping in a strange bed. The accommodation is of a very high standard. Thank you Paul and Margaret for the good conversation and lovely homemade breakfast. We will definitely stay with you again when next visiting New Plymouth.

We stayed two nights and Margaret and Paul made us most welcome. The room was very clean and comfortable with stunning ocean views. Our hosts were a mine of information on what to see and do in New Plymouth and the surrounding area (Mt Taranaki NP, the parks, gardens and art galleries in particular) and the whole experience made us want to come back to the region again. Must make mention of the wonderful breakfasts put on by Margaret and Paul. We could have stayed all morning talking and eating. Highly recommend Abode on Rimu to all visiting New Plymouth.

A lovely place to stay. Clean and modern. Separate lounge and bathroom. Great views of the city and ocean from the deck. A view of the mountain (when it was visible) from one of the rooms. Very friendly and helpful hosts. It was a pleasure to share breakfast with them and talk about our travels. Paul and Margaret gave us plenty of tips on what to do and see in New Plymouth. The only negative for us was that as we did not have a car it was quite a walk into town. However there is a bus stop close by.

We spent one night with Margaret and Paul and really enjoyed it. The service started as soon as we had booked with a phone call to be sure we new about the state of roads into New Plymouth (SH3 was closed and 43 had numerous slips.) They have two excellent rooms that share bathroom, toilet and sitting room. The latter has a great view over the sea and a deck for those summer evenings. The continental breakfast was very good and we enjoyed a pleasant chat on numerous issues with our hosts. We came away with a recipe for some of Margaret's home cooking. The next time we go to New Plymouth we know where we will be staying.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Margaret and Paul could not have been more welcoming or helpful, from tourist advice to flying the UK and Welsh flags outside the house! Breakfast was fantastic, we certainly didn't go hungry. The room had beautiful views as did the lounge and balcony.

We had such a wonderful stay at Abode on Rimu! The room was so beautiful and clean. We had our own bathroom, sitting room, and balcony with views of the ocean. Even some snacks and coffee waiting for us when we arrived. Our hosts were so friendly and shared so much of New Plymouth with us. Thank you so much Margaret and Paul! We hope we see you again!

This was a fantastic place to stay. Room was beautiful and the guests had their own sitting room looking over the bay. Margaret and Paul were the perfect hosts; very hospital and informative about where to eat and what to see. Could not fault the experience.
