Awesome Timata Ora
It was a wonderful place where we could experience a mansion in the early 20 century without discounting the modern convenience, and where the beach promenade, Pukekura park, even the grocery and takeaways are near. The staffs are also amazing with fast and thoughtful services.

Perfect for a large group
Eight of us, three couples and two singles, spent a week in New Plymouth doing day tramps. Timata Ora was the perfect base. It's a character house, immaculately presented, fully equipped, and its central location meant restaurants and supermarkets were within walking distance. Pak'n'Save is literally two minutes walk away. With five ensuites, there were no morning or evening bottlenecks. All in all it's a fantastic place to stay for a large group.

Annual get away with long time friends
The property was stunning ( better than the photos) and very centrally located. The rooms beautifully appointed and accommodated 12 people/ 4 families very comfortably. The kitchen well equipped with cutlery, platters, crockery…imp with a large group. Lots of space, great outdoor area to catch the autumn sun. Having a BBQ was great, albeit a small one for a large group. From booking to communication to access/ entry to the calibre of accomodation… spot on. A very minor point… which did not mar our positive experience of the place would be to have a sun umbrella. We would definitely return as it catered for everyone’s needs.

Reviewer Comments: We had a group of 14 stay at Timata Ora and we couldn't have been more impressed with the bedding configuration, bathrooms, living areas and other facilities. The decor in the place is quirky but in a great way that you see something new everytime you enter a room. We loved it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 6 of us who had been friends since 1972 booked Timata Ora from Friday to Monday. 5 of us were able to attend. What a wonderful venue for us all, it provided shared spaces to gather together, individual rooms offering privacy, Timata Ora was aesthetically furnished, warm, welcoming and well resourced for all our needs. Central, easily accessible and clear expectations were helpful.

Not what you payed for.
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is ok, the area is bad and the manager of the company is an aggressive bully that should never be able to talk to customers. They locked all the bedrooms as “ we didn’t need them’False advertising and typical of a NZ hick that has limited brain power. I gave up talking to him as I have always known that you cannot change stupid!
