The woman at the front desk was lovely and professional. She couldn't do more to make sure we had enjoyed our stay. The unit was roomy with everything you could ask for. I thought I had left something behind and rang the hotel to enquire...again the young lady couldn't do enough to help.

Located in the heart of New Plymouth, walking distance to the city's finest restaurants, art, retail and business precincts. The State Hotel is a 15 room boutique hotel and only a 5-minute walk to the New Plymouth Coastal Walkway.

We really like this place. First of all, communication is very smoothly and helpful. Secondly, friendly to “I” type people, as you can help yourself with all the process just follow the information through the email and message. Honestly, I would like to book again if I plan to visit New Plymouth next time. The lounge room, the whole hotel more like an art gallery, you can see a lot of artworks including some Chinese paintings, sculptures. Room is not very big but with everything you needed, it’s tidy and clean, showers are brand new, I believe they maintain the facilities well. We did not get a chance to try the restaurant as we arrive on 24th, Christmas Eve, while all the restaurants are closed on Xmas. But when we passing the bar, it seems very good, maybe we can have a try next time. The location of the hotel is really really really convenient!!! Close to all the places, the KFC, PNS, light show park, art gallery.

    We love the architecture and interior design of the beautiful property, and its peaceful and quiet environment. It exceeded our expectations and was the best accommodation we stayed in for our 3-week holiday in New Zealand. The hosts Wendy and Darren are communicative and responsive. We highly recommend the property.

    We couldn't fault anything, loved everything and hope to go back again soon. Cassie and Shaun are so welcoming such lovely people. The amenities are excellent, luxury linens and toiletries, extra touches such as chocolates and biscuits. We enjoyed the retro record player and art works as much as the stunning beach front views. Such a stunning property so well considered I can see why this property is so poplar. An easy walk into the city, cafes and restaurants. Thank you so much Cassie and Shaun : )

    Stunning views of Mt Taranaki and surrounding countryside. A very peaceful location - all you can hear are the birds and the stream that runs through the property. With no light pollution, there's an incredible view of the Milky Way at night. Gorgeous cabin, clean, warm and cosy. Our lovely hosts left breakfast, wine and chocolates.

    Beautifully appointed room, friendly and polite staff, and love the food and beverages in the atrium and across the road. Lovely to have a wee note welcoming me back with a chocolate - unexpected , then topped it with a Christmas note and chocolate on Christmas day. Wonderful location for lovers of fine food, drinks, the waterfront and walkway, galleries and designer shopping. Only place I stay in NP.
