Amazing house in a fantastic location with easy drive to all activities and city centre. Such a great setting with views and sounds of the river. House was perfect - clean, well laid out and very warm. We loved this property and look forward to staying here again.

Home well presented, clean and inviting. Firewood ready to go and lots of other nice touches. We enjoyed the two living spaces and lots of area to relax. A very special location with the stream at the bottom of the lawn. This is our 5th year of booking places for our annual friends catch up and the best yet.

An amazing time spent by all. The location is amazing with mountain views and the back yard stream. The home is comfortable and inviting. The fireplace was a hit coming from sunny Queensland. Will definitely be back

Lived up to it's name.

Serenity Lodge lived up to its name and gave our three generational family a holiday we all treasured. Yes, it was immaculate, large and provided thoroughly modern kitchen, bathrooms and many other amenities. However, some of our fondest memories involved deck time with grandchildren while they shared their adventures, taking in the view of the mountain and making the most of the beautiful stream at the bottom of the property. This was definitely the ‘babbling brook’ to lull you to sleep, provide boulders for children to clamber over, a small swimming space and a selection of rocks which on examination illustrated the volcanic nature of the New Plymouth area. A beautiful property.
