Taranaki slice of heaven!

My stay at Lydford Place was absolutely fantastic. The space was spotlessly clean and warm, making it instantly comfortable. The hosts were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the area, offering great local tips. They were also very accommodating when I had to make changes due to the weather. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-cared-for place to stay.
