Cottage by the Sea and Seacliff Villa
Two modern, self-contained 1BR cottages and two garden-studios (new in 2007). Go to sleep to the sound of the waves - wake with the birds. All accommodation is nestled amongst landscaped gardens and lawns. You may take a short bushwalk down 100 steps to the beach, explore our avocado orchards and sunken garden, or relax on the veranda watching ever-changing sea views. A BBQ is provided.
Every year many people of Taranaki open their private gardens to the people of the world and New Zealand. After traveling the world, many class this collection amongst the world's finest, with a background of the most magnificent conical mountain, frequently capped with snow throughout the garden festival. The parks and gardens are a tribute to the natural beauty and the people of the province who a extend a warm welcome to visitors to taste, experience, and tread softly, softly, in this most stunning garden, mountain and surf province of New Zealand.

About the region: There is a large system of walkways which often follow the swift mountain streams and include various parks and scenic spots. Taranaki is also known for its gardens, both public and private. Most are open throughout the year, some by appointment. November is the world famous Rhododendron Festival which attracts many out-of-towners. With December and January comes the Festival of Lights, where at night you’ll witness a fairyland. Also in the region you’ll find small wineries, art galleries, a seal colony, museums, surfing beaches, canoeing, horse riding, game fishing and many crafts people including potters, wood turners and gemologists.
Watch the sunrise from your bed? It’s true! Even though we are on the westcoast of New Zealand, we face north. Often the morning sky is lit up in all shades of pink reflecting on the deep blue waters.
A modern, full-equipped kitchen allows you to prepare your own meals if you desire. Breakfast is optional. If you choose to provide your own breakfast, your cost is adjusted. The bedroom has a double bed with a private bathroom. A comfortable sofabed in the lounge sleeps two.
Situated on the Tasman Sea, we offer you complete privacy and quietness, surrounded with beauty. This peaceful cottage is nestled amongst acres of landscaped gardens and lawns, with a new sunken garden now being developed. The temperatures are rarely below 50 in the winter or above 80 in the summer.
The region of Taranaki is known for its mountain, Mt Egmont (also known as Mt Taranaki). There are well-marked bush walks and a choice of trails that take from 15 minutes to 5 days, the latter being the “Round the Mountain” track. The views from the top, 8,260 feet, are spectacular.
