Escape is great location from which to explore Taranaki’s many attractions, or simply sit back and relax, enjoying the rural outlook the native and tropical gardens, abundant bird life, a small flock of pet Arapawa sheep, night time stars, and having a soak in the private outdoor clawfoot bath. The studio has off street carparking, a private entrance onto its own deck and garden area, an ensuite bathroom with shower, basin and toilet.
