Cheap little room for unique Coastal Taranaki stay. The room is built in the corner of a shed and is fully self contained, albeit with limited cooking facilities. Little TV/DVD player with a selection of DVD's if the weather cut's up (no TV reception). Full bathroom. Right on the beach. 5 minutes from Okato township with a couple of great licensed cafes, takeaways and grocery supplies. Right on Surf highway 45 with a heap of good breaks if the one out front is not working. A little over 20 minutes to New Plymouth and 12 or so to Oakura with a great beach and pub. 50 minutes or so to ski field. Point of difference here is we are not into it for the money just to meet folk and provide a service. We are pretty relaxed and you are welcome to eat with us if it suits both. Have a crack at the slide into the pool or head down to the beach bar and have a quiet beer or BBQ. A few notes: The beach is a typical west coast beach and not great for swimming though it's ok for a dip at high tide in the boat race. We no longer accommodate dogs sorry. Just to many hassles with cleaning and misbehaving dogs. There is a great kennel not to far down the road though if your dog wants a holiday as well. Look up Coastal Kennels. We have alternative accommodation on site if you have a group (well 2 couples). See other listing. Room has a decent fridge/freezer and BBQ available for you on request. Please note!! You are paying about what you would for backpackers with a shared bathroom and very basic amenities. As described the room is basic and comfortable, but it does not feature top of the line appliances, a 65" LED TV with full sky, broadband and a massage service on request. Believe me there are people out there that expect that for the price! If you are one of them please save us both the drama and book some fancy digs with a reflective price.
