Drive onto our property and take a deep breathe and relax. Its holiday time and you are here! Our property is quite new & well designed with double glazing & solar heated water &floors. There is a good sized bedroom with a very comfortable queen size bed, good linen @ towels. In the lounge area there is a comfortable/stylish queen size Ikea Sofa bed with linen stored in lift up base. So there is ample room for either children or another couple if required. The kitchen has everything you need for self -catering. I will supply free range eggs when available. Please help yourself to the herb & vege garden. There is a washing machine and an undercover clothesline plus portable drying racks in cottage. The indoor outdoor flow is ideal, and guests often use the outdoor space for a quiet wine/coffee, a meal or barbecue. Mahoetahi farm is located 5 min from Waitara, 10-15 minutes from New Plymouth, and 25 minutes from Mount Taranaki. The local sights I would highly recommend are Pukekura Park, Puke Ariki Museum, Len Lye Centre, Parititu Rock and Back Beach, Fitzroy BeachOakura Beach, actually all beaches are great. We are also lucky to have a river boundary great for a walk .. follow the race to the end & turn right into the paddock & down the hill....(there is a small dwelling to walk towards) available for picnics, sun soaking and swimming. Animals on the farm include our cat Pepper a blacknwhite female cat, 20'ish steers, 15 hens, 1 very friendly old dog Ricky and Numerous 'potential racehorses' The neighbours have the miniature horses.

Please come and enjoy our hospitality. We are here if you need us, but you can be as private as you wish also. Cheers Gayle and Greg

Special conditions: Smoking allowed outside only.
We have a portacot/high chair available between the 2 cottages(please request) I will leave this for you to assemble and put away after use. Linen is supplied for portacot.

    I had a busy work trip and this was such a fabulous wee oasis to return to at the end of the day. Lovely deck looking out over the farmland. Highly recommend.

    An Absolutely Wonderful Stay!We had the most fantastic stay here! The property was even better than the photos, spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for exploring New Plymouth. What truly made it special, though, was the host's hospitality and ability to connect with so easily. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be returning. Highly, highly recommend!

    The interior was modern and well designed. The BBQ facilities worked very well. We stayed for seven nights, enjoyed the river swimming, local beaches and proximity to New Plymouth. We hope to return in future.

    First time at Sentry Hill, and we were very, very happy with the cottage, services and location! The hosts were warm and welcoming, and the cottage stay was great for the much needed relax and unwind. No hesitation to stay again, or to highly recommend to all!
