About this house rental

This charming house is fondly known as The Front Office. It was built in 1929 as business premises for Jones & Sandford Ltd, one of New Plymouth's oldest surviving timber/construction firms. Over the years the owners have brought it into the 21st century with a modern, urban industrial mix with aged features creating a very special and unique space.

The living area feels expansive with high ceiling and large doors that open out to a deck area to beautifully manicured gardens. Special touches create a warm relaxed feel where you can curl up on the couch with a good book. The chef's kitchen is the hub of the house which brings everyone together. It is an outstanding space which is nothing short of wow. Art adorns the walls which captures the ambience and it's sense of luxury.

Three beautifully appointed bedrooms. A huge master bedroom with a comfortable king bed is in a separate wing of the house with its ownultra modern bathroom. In the other wing is a bedroom with two comfortable king beds which you walk though down a passage to another bathroom and the third large bedroom with a queen bed. Additional features include a laundry area with a washing machine and clothes drier, unlimited wifi & central heating throughout. Great off Street Parking in a large carpark area right outside the house, which services Mitre 10 and the Jones and Sandford building.

Right on St Aubyn Street you are a ten minute walk to the CBD for Arts Culture & Shopping. A five minute walk the NP Aquatic Centre and then onto the Scenic Coastal Walkway. Plenty of cafes and takeaways conveniently located close by. Don't miss the opportunity to stay somewhere that has such great local history. Book today.

A spacious house with good amenities and some interesting history. Nice and clean. Only downsides were the keybox was hard to locate and to get to the third bedroom you had to go through the 2nd bedroom. Overall very positive.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Front Office is incredibly well appointed and spacious. It's definitely in the upper ranks of all such accommodation. For two couples it was perfect and we still had a room for one of us to work from while there. It's close to the CBD and is great value. If you're particularly concerned about road noise it may not suit but for us the other factors more than overcame that.

Great House

Great House

Loved staying here. We were initially surprised by the location as it sits within the Mitre 10 carpark however once inside it is spacious, clean and very private. We stayed over a long weekend which saw a lot of rain so the house offered a great refuge for us. Unfortunately we didn’t get to utilise the outdoor BBQ and dining area but this would be great for afternoon lunch or dinners. The kitchen is huge and had everything we needed. The bedrooms are also very large and comfortable. It’s been beautifully renovated. We would recommend this house and hope to return.
