    The accommodation was lovely. It has modern finishes and was neat and clean. Well stocked kitchen and a special treat of busicuits and cookies in the tea and coffee station (especially appreciated by our kids). Perfect for a quick stop in New Plymouth. And conveniently positioned just outside of town. Wendy was lovely to deal with. She answered queries promptly and was happy to go the extra mile to make our stay comfortable.

    There's nothing to dislike! If you're planning on visiting New Plymouth, stay here!!

    This is our second stay here, and we would have no hesitation in staying here again. It feels like home away from home with the added bonus of a spectacular view of Mount Taranaki from the kitchen window! The property is spotlessly clean and well presented. The full kitchen, with a dish drawer, is awesome, and the bed is really comfortable. It is close to everything while also being away from the hustle! We love what you've done with the front garden!

    I had some trouble with the door initially - but that was me, not anything at the property - Wendy came down straight away and sorted it for me. Spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Lovely and quiet. Had a rural outlook. Very nice.

    We loved everything!

    The Aviator was excellent in all respects: it was beautifully put together with comfortable furniture, everything one could ask for in the kitchen, lovely shower room with plenty of towels, and an incredibly comfy bed (we didn't use the laundry facilities but admired the neat design). And the bonus was an incredible view of Mt Taranaki in the morning.

    Front door with pin code is a little bit fiddly to get unlocked, but not a big deal.

    Very clean and nice single house. Excellent facilities. Nice terrace to sit and to have meals al fresco. Although a few kilometers from the airport we did not hear any noise. Neighbours were other single houses, sheep and cows.

    Nothing we would change - it was great.

    Wendy was an excellent host, she contacted me quickly as I'd left a charger behind and organized collection which was greatly appreciated. Accommodation is lovely - very modern, clean, comfortable. It is well appointed, things like spare pillows and throws, the selection of coffee pods and snacks, and nice toiletries made it feel it luxurious yet welcoming and relaxing. We enjoyed the covered deck by the gardens. It is a very quiet location and we all slept well. If you need somewhere close to the airport we highly recommend The Aviator. Even then, it is a short easy drive into the city. We would definitely stay again.
