Great location between the mountain and sea. Very spacious and comfortable accommodation stocked with everything one needs for a home away from home stay. Great communication and consideration demonstrated from Trish. The family loved the place, all for different reasons.

Just watching the alpacas makes you happy at this farm. The house was well appointed with everything we needed. An easy drive into New Plymouth with all it has to offer. Would definitely recommend The Alpaca Retreat. We have enjoyed it twice.

The photos do not do justice to this property. The accommodation and amenities are superb, and the location is sublime. Having the Alpacas around was the cherry on top. Not to mention the hawks overhead and viewing the stars in a nice dark sky. Would love to return for another stay some time.

We had an amazing time staying at the alpaca retreat! The alpacas we grazing in the field around the house and could be seen from all the windows along with the beautiful views. The home was clean and very well equipped for our group and we enjoyed a very memorable Christmas there. I will suggest this place to anyone I know traveling. Tom the area. Thank you Trish.

The cottage had everything we needed, and was an amazing place for rest and relaxation. Far enough for tranquility, but near enough for getting supplies. The alpacas were definitely amazing and super cute. Will definitely come back!

A lovely location and excellent facility. Some problem with TV going off every 30 minutes and not straight forward to regain reception. Unable to get boiling water facility in master bedroom to work.. Alpacas didn't seem to like the food treat provided. Ha ha. Overall we would recommend Alpaca Retreat to anyone looking for first class accomodation.

This place was great. We loved hanging out with and feeding the alpacas. The spa was also a hit. Make sure if you are coffee drinkers you come with coffee and milk, as none was provided for us (instant coffee sachets were there). Great setup for 2 couples. Nice rural setting.

Bliss in the Countryside

Bliss in the Countryside

An absolutely gorgeous cottage - set in acres of verdant farmlands, with views of both ocean and volcano. We loved the outdoor dining area, barbecue and spa bath - perfect for soothing post-hiking muscles. The cottage is aptly names after the curious and very cute creatures that graze in the lush paddocks surrounding the cottage. Worth saving for your visit…

Fabulous rural setting and perfectly situated to both enjoy the sights of New Plymouth and also feel a bit relived from civilization. Very comfortable and well equipped house and the spa was great (though the water could have used a clean probably). Alpacas very cute. Was an excellent choice for our family. Thanks!

Couldn’t be a better farm house to stay in. Comfortable, stylish and plenty of space. As others have said the alpacas are a bonus. Not far to Oakura beach which is also great for coffee and a swim.
