Fox Cottage - Award Winning Bach
OPunake - Surf highly 45
Fox Cottage is a place where you can unwind, listen to the nearby stream, read a book in the sun, or stroll to the local township and beaches. An award-winning bach, honoured with Bronze in the 2016 Bach of the Year Award for Best Hospitality from Bookabach. It is a very special, quirky and quaint, classic kiwi bach that’s surrounded by native bush and birdlife. Built for the local Post Master in 1910 this gorgeous cottage features natural timbers, New Zealand art, quality furnishings and linen that create a relaxed and warm decor.
“One of the best bookabach’s I’ve stayed in. Book it you won’t regret it. Close to the beach, shops, lake, quiet street, well
furnished, great garden. The little extras make it just that bit special. Great Weber and comfortable beds. Will be back.” Stephen

COUNTRY RETREAT GLAMPING - on carrington
Nowadays more and more people are seeking a respite from the near 24/7 craziness of the modern world – they want to step back from it all to have a taste of the good life. Glamping however, is something else entirely – it’s camping in style without having to forgo any of life’s comforts. It’s a journey back to simpler times, a place to talk, laugh, relax and reflect with a hot shower, indulgent private outdoor bath, sit around the outdoor fire and much, much more.
Treat yourselves to an experience like you’ve never had before. Country Retreat Glamping does all the work, all you need to do is turn up. From having your breakfast cooked and delivered at a time that’s convenient for you - to not having to worry about dishes, they are collected and done for you.
Chill out with some good old-fashioned games – like cards, marbles, quiots, knucklebones, jenga, potonque, board games or simply read a book and do a puzzle.
They are far enough out of town to relax and take in the country surroundings on the deck but close enough to pop into town to enjoy the many attractions and lovely eating establishments New Plymouth has to offer.
Go eeling in the creek – feed the farm animals – hang out in the rumpus room – play pool, darts and table-tennis.
Country Glamping can make any special occasion an experience to remember.
Family getaways – Hens night – Work get-togethers – Honeymoons – Birthdays – Anniversaries – Date nights – Mother/daughter: Father/son time-outs
Country Retreat is the first unique and specialised Glamping tent in Taranaki.
