Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Pleasant stay, not so pleasant weather.
I chose a one-bedroom cottage unit for our stay to give us a bit of extra room. I thought that by staying at Ducks & Drakes, we would be able to walk to some of the New Plymouth sites and this was the case. I also wanted to use the shuttle service to get to the National Park, but instead Brett recommended another company that offered private 3-hour city tours which suited our needs better, particularly as the weather was not great.
