A modernized Kiwi Villa with loads of charm is where you can relax in our lovely corner of the world. We welcome you to enjoy the fantastic views of Mt Taranaki from our deck and garden. Close to the town center, we welcome all visitors to our home in this amazing region, be it for business or pleasure, and will do our best to ensure that you will have a comfortable stay while respecting your privacy. Sam, our Belgian Shepherd also lives here, although very vocal when greeting guests - it is his way of saying hello. He looks like a big black woolf, but looks are deceptive!! he loves people and the attention he attracts.
Having moved away from Auckland to live in Hawera, on the amazing West Coast of Taranaki .........(New Zealand's best-kept secret!!) James and I (Gillian) wanted to create a place where visitors would enjoy staying during their travels. We love meeting people of different cultures as well as New Zealanders from other parts of NZ - enjoying walks with our dog Sam, getting together with family, music, going to the movies, Indian food (Japanese, Chinese, Italian and Fish n Chips......to name just a few food types), traveling and life in general : ) We are new in the hospitality business and have became fully operational in 2018.
There are many places of interest within an hours radius. Locally, visit King Edward Park, a beautiful park that has lovely gardens, a lake and a great playground area for children. Close by stands an amazing statue of the character, " Wendy Darling" from the book Peter Pan, by JM Barrie. There are BBQ tables with bench seats set under lofty trees - ideal for a nice picnic. Adjacent to the Park is the Hawera Aquatic Centre which is open all year round and has a 25 m indoor heated pool and a 50 m outdoor pool, plus indoor learners’ pool, toddlers’ splash park, thermal pool, and hydro-slide. The town center has two supermarkets, cafes where you can enjoy great coffee and food, restaurants and sports bars. Take in a movie, visit Hawera Cinema, which has two theaters with comfortable standard seats and deluxe seating. For the adventurous climb the 215 steps of the Hawera Water Tower to enjoy amazing views. There are several walks that you can enjoy that are a 10 to 45 mins drive from Fossil Coast B & B - there is a new coastal walk to Waihi Beach, you can look for fossils. Lake Rotokare, 12 Kms east of Eltham - walk around the lake while admiring native flora and bird life.
