North Taranaki District, Taranaki hotel rooms at the Independent

"This was a great stay. Everything was perfect. I had to have emergency eye surgery in Auckland. I wish I recovered at a place like this compared to the place I had to stay for a week."

"A lovely room with a view. Friendly attentive staff."

"Quiet, clean Very handy to downtown. Comfortable beds. "

"The room, the staff and the scenery were spectacular.Room was very clean and it was so quiet with only the waves of the ocean making their presence know to those who listen."

"Staff was very accommodating especially Michelle who went above and beyond when we first got there. The heated outdoor and spa was awesome and we used it both days we were there. "

"Room was excellent with a wonderful view of the sea. Balcony was spacious and relaxing. Room had everything we needed for our two night stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking is limited on premise but also available right across the street. We luckily got a spot at the hotel. Would highly recommend this accommodation - especially to book the penthouse suite."

"Great value to be so close to the beach and hear the waves (Just don’t forget your sleeping bag)."

"Staff and accommodation were excellent. There was a small hitch with the bedroom TV remote and bedside clock but this should not deter people from this hotel. Highly recommended."

"Friendly staff, clean, tidy and comfortable, heated pool a bonus "
