Grant and Trudy are great hosts, very Welcoming, supportive and extremely passionate about looking after their guests. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. I have regularly stayed here at least twice a month for the past 5 months, and will continue to stay in the future. I wish Grant and Trudy a happy success.

An excellent stay, the room was just as pictured, clean, comfortable, and everything we needed. We were very impressed with the complimentary bikes, and we had a wonderful ride along the New Plymouth coastal walkway, absolutely stunning. The hosts were lovely, friendly and helpful. We look forward to our next visit to New Plymouth, the Dawson is definitely where we'll be staying!
