As B&B operators ourselves, it was an absolute delight to experience John and Rosemary's wonderfully warm hospitality and explore their fabulous home. The painstaking restoration of their home is a credit to them. We enjoyed their beautifully prepared and presented breakfast and delicious afternoon tea treats. There is always something to learn from others, and Rosemary and John were no... More

John and Rosemary are excellent hosts. They make the guests very much at home and we shall always remember Rosemary's scones. They offer helpful advice while respecting your privacy. The setting of Villa Heights is superb with a wonderful garden, rooms are comfortable and we cannot fault the services provided. We certainly recommend Villa Heights as a holiday destination. More

It is truly hard to describe how gorgeous this Bed & Breakfast is until you see it in person. To convey a sense of it, you have to know the "back story." John (the owner) is a retired dairy farmer and when he sold his farm, he retained a patch of land with a perfect view of Mount Taranaki, which... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. The home is beautifully restored and meticulously clean. The hosts are wonderful. John even loaned us a gps to find our way to a recommended restaurant. Sunset views from up on the hills above New Plymouth are great. More

We were so impressed by the high standards of everything right down to the smallest detail. What a hospitable couple, such friendly service, and also offering excellent suggestions on how to best...

Villa Heights rests on a broad hillside a few kilometers outside of New Plymouth, Taranaki. Mount Egmont, a stunning dormant volcano, dominates the horizon, and from the lovely gardens one can look out over miles of rolling hills and sheep farms to the Tasman Sea. The B&B is not large, but it is comfortable and quiet. Once a farmhouse, it... More

Stayed at Villa Heights for one night with husband and two friends. We were warmly welcomed with afternoon tea. The first impression was WOW, we just loved the magnificent restored cottage and rose gardens. The hosts Rosemary and John welcomed us like family and could not do do enough for us. The rooms were very large and so, so comfortable... More
