My husband and I felt very much at home in this lovely restored Kauri timber farmhouse from the start. After being shown to our room, we were welcomed with coffee and cake, and enjoyed sitting by the fire after our blustery journey from Wellington and chatting with Rosemary and John. Our comfortable, well-appointed room, with its king-sized bed looked out towards Mt Taranaki across the beautiful garden. Breakfast the next morning was delicious and more than generous. I'm only sorry that we didn't stay longer in this beautiful part of NZ, but we had only a limited time on this trip. I very much enjoyed seeing what Rosemary and John had done to this wonderful house to preserve it. We had a terrific dinner in New Plymouth at a restaurant called 'Salt'.... slightly on the

This was our first time staying at a B&B rather than a Hotel or apartment for many years and it was a real treat. We felt at home as soon as we walked in the door, with welcoming hosts John and Rosemary spoiling us rotten throughout our two night stay. Breakfasts were just magnificent, far better than the breakfast buffet at any Hotel. Room was clean, cosy and bed very comfortable. Location just out of New Plymouth is convenient and very quiet. Overall, a beautiful place to relax and unwind.

From the get go, we really enjoyed our stay at this B&B. Were pleasantly surprised with the property and our host. The property has been meticulously restored to better than it's original condition, with added character/convenience/style. Very comfortable, warm, and well facilitated. The host was helpful, friendly, and interesting. John made our stay very memorable and looked after us very well! The gardens were an added bonus.

My wife an I stayed at the Villa Heights B&B after driving the Forgotten World Highway. John and Rosemary were amazing hosts, and the B&B was of a very very high standard. Excellent would not be too strong a word.

My husband and I enjoyed 3 nights at the beautiful Villa Heights set in lovely gardens, with John as host. Villa Heights is in a lush rural setting, but an easy, short drive to all local attractions.. John was attentive without being obtrusive, a great conventionalist happy to share his ample knowledge of the area when asked. His chef skills were greatly enjoyed at breakfast time, and the complementary glass of wine with him by the fire the night we were back earlier was a nice end to the day. The bed was SO comfortable, with quality linen, everything was spotless, and all the little extras were there -toiletries, dressing gowns to lounge in, chocolates by the bed at night, home baking left in our room for supper (or maybe it was afternoon tea that we weren't back in time for!!)

My wife and I have just had 3 nights at Villa Heights using it as our base while touring Taranaki. John, our host was flying solo that weekend but had everything organised and ready for our arrival. The house has been restored with little expense spared and each room is beautifully prepared with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The service and amenities reflected the quality of this fine home and garden. John is a gracious and knowledgeable host and provided us with very nice breakfasts each day. It's an easy 10-15 minute drive to the city or over to Inglewood, Egmont Village and the mountain. We look forward to another visit one day and can recommend Villa Heights as a top place to stay in New Plymouth.

From the moment you arrive at Villa Heights you feel at home. We recently stayed for 3 nights and both John and Rosemary could not make us feel more welcome. Each morning we were served breakfast of our own choice in a warm and bright dining room. Our room was well appointed and the beds comfortable with luxurious linen. They both gave us time to answer any questions we had on sights to see and things do in the area. We left looking forward to returning again in the not to distant future. Thankyou to you both.

This is a great place to stay while you are in the Taranaki Region. Well located for easy access to the mountain and to New Plymouth with very welcoming and knowledgable hosts. Extremely comfortable with a lovely garden and terrific views of Taranaki as well. Highly recommended!
