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. ##### Scott K.

Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely stay in this beautiful home. Lovely with the sound of rolling water from the little river and lovely views of the mountain. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room. The only down side was the lack of serving dishes (one) as we ate at home every night. There were a few platters though. Also the beds were very small. I’d obviously forgotten just how small a queen bed is. A shame as there was plenty of room for bigger beds. It does say Queen though, so I guess I shouldn’t moan. Overall amazing place though. ##### Maria G. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam A. 15 Mar 2022 #### Amazing Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.
