    This place is amazing. We stayed in a lot of nice places during our 9-week visit to New Zealand and Tasmania. This was one of the very best. The Little Church and location look better in person than in any of the pictures we saw in advance. Our...

    Fantastic location on the coastal walkway, close to everything in New Plymouth. Such a unique property with ocean views, a hand carved rock outdoor tub, cozy seating, and unique decor. Hosts were lovely and inviting as well!

    The hosts were very accommodating and welcoming! The home is perfectly located next to the beach, just off the edge of town, with very easy access. Guests provided a grill, surf boards, and bikes to use during our trip and very helpful with...

    We loved everything. Perfect location and a thoughtfully created space oozing charm. Walking distance to restaurants and a walking path directly in front of property overlooking the sea.

    Loved it all - gorgeous location and the interior was sublime, such attention to detail in all the furnishings. It felt like a very quality stay.

    Great location just above the seaside walkway and a short stroll into town. However, we could have easily just stayed put for our entire visit enjoying the serenity and the stunning view of the bay. Our hosts went the extra mile for us with...

    Location was obscenely spectacular with respect to both the views from the cottage, and the access to the walkway. Owners live on the property and are available and friendly but not at all intrusive and have used hedges for screening and privacy...

Little Church Bay is a unique property which has been newly constructed using recycled materials where possible by Shaun (owner). Shaun has used his imagination to build a little Church which is cosy & romantic without leaving out any modern luxuries. By far the most striking feature of this property is its location as it is absolute beachfront with some of the best waves in Taranaki a few feet away. Little Church Bay is a rather large piece of waterfront land so in addition to being a B&B the property is also available to be hired for functions the most common of which are Wedding Ceremonies. Shaun has built a driftwood arch which overlooks the ocean and is perfect for that special day.
Shaun and I are originally from New Plymouth however have recently returned to New Plymouth having returned from living in Sydney for over 20 years. We have two teenage children, a dog and a cat. We are very much outdoor loving people with hobbies that include hanging out with family and friends, surfing, stand up paddle boarding, snow boarding, mountain biking, running, walking, cooking and yoga.
