Perfect family stay

A great location to access New Plymouth and the region. The house was perfect for our family to be able to relax, have our own spaces, but also enjoy being together. Great to be able to cook a meal, play with the toys, and easily get into town. Good comms from the host. Our second time at this property and would stay again! Thanks.

Sea Breeze at The Chocolate Box

We loved our stay at The Chocolate Box, perfect fit for our family, lovely, comfortable and really nice. We felt spoilt to be near the ocean, off the main road, to have the massage chair and be so close to the Thermal mineral pools..

Overall good stay, caters for different sized groups. Not quite situated where we wanted to be but we should have asked more questions prior to booking so our arrangements could have been better.

Fantastic family home in superb New Plymouth location

Our family visits New Plymouth often to visit family and we were so stoked to find this place to stay. Awesome location so close to town, the coastal walk way, Paritutu Rock, Iona dairy for giant icrcreams etc. Lovely place to stay and the kids appreciated the toys, swinging chair and massage chair! We would love to come back again.
