Home away from home elevated warm many extras .

Nice cozy

The arrival instructions were very clear and easy to understand.There was an ample supply of tea and coffee available and multiple coffee options (plunger, packaged cappuccino and instant etc.)We had all the utensils we needed in the kitchen and the pantry had all the essentials like baking paper, kitchen towels and glad-wrap.WIFI was easy to set up and use with clear information supplied in the pack. We didn’t need to use the air conditioning, but noted that clear instructions were provided on how to use that (along with all other appliances).There was ample tourist information available inside the property as well.We did get to meet our host, Wendy, on the day of our departure and she was a lovely lady.The off-street parking is very handy and the location is close to amenities.There was quite a collection of books, DVDs and games, in the event you needed to stay in and keep yourself amused. The TV also supported Chromecast.There were even a couple of pairs of reading glasses available, should the need arise!We had an excellent stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to others.

Great location, accommodation nice and quiet. Clean and tidy

Outdoor area needed a bit of TLC but a great space. Home away from home feel:)

We loved our stay at The Chocolate Box. It was perfect for our requirements. Great handy location. Very well equipped with everything you might need.

Easy access process, warm, clean and very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen and the double bed we used gave us good slumber. TV worked perfectly. We will stay here again.

We enjoyed staying in this characterful house for a weekend in New Plymouth. Lovely and warm (good heating!), spotlessly clean and well-equipped. We particularly appreciated tea, coffee & milk provided for us plus lots of handy extras. The front bedroom room gets a bit of noise from the main road (although the house is on a quiet street), but back bedroom was v quiet. Outside courtyard and table would be perfect in summer. We enjoyed a hot soak at thermal spa across the road - perfect for unwinding after a busy week. Would happily stay here again.

Me and my family stayed there for two nights… really enjoyed the place and my kids really appreciated the toys… Nice clean house, near to the walks… will come back again…

Our young kids loved the toys and books, the location was fantastic, the home was clean, we appreciated the blackout curtains in the bedrooms, everything worked as expected, we had everything we needed, and there was a surprise massage chair! This felt like a home, not a sterile location. Peter & Wendy were very accommodating, good communicators.We would happily return - I'm sad we forgot to sign the guest book!

Suited our needs perfectly.

A great location to access New Plymouth and the region. The house was perfect for our family to be able to relax, have our own spaces, but also enjoy being together. Great to be able to cook a meal, play with the toys, and easily get into town. Good comms from the host. Our second time at this property and would stay again! Thanks.

This home was well equipped and spacious. The listing was very accurate. Secure and quiet. We loved our stay!

Family from Perth visiting. Wanted to explore New Plymouth. Great location

We loved our stay at The Chocolate Box, perfect fit for our family, lovely, comfortable and really nice. We felt spoilt to be near the ocean, off the main road, to have the massage chair and be so close to the Thermal mineral pools..

Overall good stay, caters for different sized groups. Not quite situated where we wanted to be but we should have asked more questions prior to booking so our arrangements could have been better.

Fantastic little home in a great location. So close to town and all the activities we did. The house itself was clean and tidy. Toys and books for the kids was great. Perfect for a family. Only downfall was the sofa-bed was not comfortable at all and we couldn’t use it. We would stay again if visiting New Plymouth.

We really loved our stay here. It had everything we needed plus some lovely seasonal extra touches which we really appreciated like a wee Christmas tree and some Christmassy toys for the kids. Great location with a short drive to the beach, Paritutu and town, and 15 minutes walk to the new playground at Kāwaroa. Our kids also enjoyed the playgrounds and bike/scooter tracks at the schools across the road. Comfy beds, nice courtyard area, and we also loved the hanging chair and the massage chair. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay. It was so homely and warm and welcoming. We had really good sleeps as it was also very peaceful. There were lovely condiments and we felt very much at home. Thank you Wendy and Peter for a great stay.

Good location. Close to the Coastal Pathway. Easy slow walk into town along this path. Warm & sunny house. Very comfortable beds. A nice treat awaiting us in the fruit bowl. ?? Thank you Peter & Wendy.

Tidy house and good location .

Very clean and well equipped simple accommodation

The house was cosy and warm, had pretty much all you needed.Kds loved the lollies, thank you. Close to to town. Just was unsure how the pricing worked per night.

We really enjoyed the whole property and the extras e.g: Toys, books, lollies etc. The house was very clean, lovely and warm especially with the electric blankets and heat pump!! Thanks so much for having us!

Great

Had everything we needed. Daughter loved the massage chair after each competition day. Heat pump and fan system keep us warn on the chilly mornings.

Really happy with the place and the contract with Peter and Wendy
