Molesworth Cottage - Central location & close to beach

Welcome to our cosy cottage located in the heart of New Plymouth.
Our relaxed beach-style home is perfect for families, small groups, or anyone looking to explore the best of the Taranaki region. Just a short stroll to the vibrant downtown area, you'll have easy access to local cafes, shops, and the iconic coastal walkway. Not to mention walking distance to fabulous swimming beaches.

Inside, you'll find a welcoming space with a comfy couch and french doors opening to the front porch. The fully equipped kitchen, including Nespresso pod machine, has a basic stock of ingredients for your convenience.

Three nicely sized bedrooms each have a queen or king-sized bed, of which two have plenty of wardrobe and drawer space.

Carport parking for a small-medium sized vehicle is at the rear of the cottage. A lockable garden shed is available for use for those travelling with bikes, golf clubs or surf boards etc.

Please let us know if you need an early check-in or later check-out, and we will try our best to accommodate your request.

We hope you enjoy our family holiday cottage as much as we do.

Gorgeous wee cottage; great central location

Our family of 6 left our car at the cottage and easily walked to Puke Ariki via the coastal walkway, to the Cycle Inn to rent bikes, and to town for dinner. The cottage is beautifully presented & generously stocked. We loved it!

Highly Recommended.

I love this place. 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.
