Reviewer Comments: Beautiful country home on a lovely large section close enough to town but just far enough away to enjoy quiet rural living. Photos don't do this home justice, it truly is a very special place to stay. Greeted by a large open kitchen, dining and living area with a stunning large bathroom it was both clean and tidy and felt very homely. The Homestead was a real pleasure to stay at and would thoroughly recommend this home and it's host Joanne of Bach Break New Plymouth. ##### Jeremy L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa M., Auckland Jul 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Another great stay We have stayed here several times and still love this house, thanks 😊 ##### Melissa M.

Jan 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Conflicting thoughts Lovely location House is in need of a little TLC. The impressive looking bathroom lacked any water pressure for the fancy shower head and it would have been good to have a floor squeegee to mop up the water. Lounge furniture could do with an upgrade. The ripped couch didn't quite fit with the overall grandeur of the rest of the property. Was great that we could take our dog along. Host was friendly and curteous. ##### Helen D. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay P.

Well equipped kitchen, and beautiful garden. Older property but in good nick. Good value for a group all wanting a separate bedroom, or for a big familyThe 4th bedroom is in a separate building with no plumbing, just be aware. Also the main toilet had awful water pressure, 1 flush per couple of hours - ended up using buckets to help! ##### Lindsay P.

But thankyou so so much for your hospitality and kindness, made my wedding day that much more special, thankyou so much :) ##### Niva C.

Jul 20, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mixed feelings While we had a fun stay in this lovely old farm homestead, we were constantly having to contact the agent and/or owner in order to get help with the tv, heater in kitchen, finding a corkscrew. Unfortunately only the master bedroom has full curtains and two bedside lamps—the other two bedrooms only have sheers, one bedside lamp room 2, none in room 3\. Water pressure in the large bathroom is very poor. Lots of cobwebs in the house. The furniture in the lounge/tv room is very uncomfortable. We nevertheless made the most of our time in the house (the kitchen is superb!) and really appreciated that we could have our dogs with us, and there was plenty of space on the property for them to sniff around and play. The owner, Dave, who lives on the property is a very friendly chap who was most helpful in sorting out a few issues we had. Overall we enjoyed our stay! ##### Marlene d.

Mar 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pretty good mate Very clean, warm and homey stay. Very accomodating and is definitely big enough for a large group! The main bathroom water pressure is very poor but overall a awesome stay and would come back again. ##### Abbey A.
