All my life I visit New Plymouth as my family are scattered all round the mountain. I have gotten use to driving down Friday late afternoon taking time to call in on family all the way down through Te Awamutu, Otorohanga and Te Kuiti before the push through the gorge & my favorite Mt Messenger. The drive is a highlight for my whole life actually. To arrive usually post midnight to roll out into Molesworth Cottage with its relaxed vibe for the first time, comfortable living and compact setting it was incredible to feel relaxed, taking the time to not even rush to bed but sit and soak in the cottage feel with a cuppa washing the day/week/life away. It just really sums up how we have fallen in love with the place over night. My wife is a design chic (kitchen), she agrees with me, one of the best, relaxed holidays in a long time. It has us motivated with our own ideas reinvigorating similar plans due to the simplicity Kara & co have spoiled us with. 10/10 Molesworth Cottage. ##### ERIN C.
