We stayed at 93 by the Sea 26-28 April 2013 and couldn't have stayed in a better property. The location was great - perfect for walking the Coastal Walkway, walking into New Plymouth main shopping streets, and quiet! And the accommodation was just wonderful. We had the whole downstairs to ourselves, as we were 2 adults and 2 children, and... More

We spent 2 nights at Pat and Bruce's B&B in March. What a nice couple and a great establishment. Pat was right on with her restaurant recommendations. There are 2 rooms to rent, we had the larger of the two. Wow is the only way I can describe the rooms. There was a comfortable living room, a Hugh bathroom and... More

Having left accomodation to the last minute while booking for WOMAD , we were very pleased when we found a place to stay at 93 By the Sea. It was our first B&B experience and WOW! what a lovely experience it was. The room was spacious and we had our own lounge area with TV, a real beeeg bathroom with... More

The 'rimu room' was all we wished for - comfortable bed, room to spread out, wi-fi, domestic atmosphere. As stated no view to speak of, though a glimpse of the sea. The ensuite is tight but cleverly designed - shower has good water pressure and ample sized basin. Pat is hospitable and a delight to talk with. Breakfast on the... More

93 By the Sea is everything we hoped for: Pat and Bruce's friendly welcome, fabulous sea views, our very comfortable room, Pat's great breakfasts, an immaculate garden and lots of help in finding things to make our stay in New Plymouth unforgettable. Pat and Bruce's advice enabled us to pack a variety of experiences into our (regrettably) short stay. All... More

First of all Bruce and Pat are just wonderful people and delightful hosts. Then there's the fabulous view from the balcony. We used their fully equipped kitchen (with kitchen window also looking out over the Tasman) rather than go out to eat so we could sit outside on the balcony and enjoy the view while eating! Then the Taranaki region... More

What a lovely couple Pat and Bruce are. Breakfasts were good with a chance to talk to our hosts about the area and aspects of life in New Zealand. A sun deck that overlooks a small but pretty garden and a view out to sea, where if you are lucky enough you will see Orca’s swimming by. Our bedroom had... More

Owners welcome and treat you as if you are friends just passing by for a couple of days. The room we had was large and very personal decorated. The bathroom however was tiny. Owner has given us very good tips on how to see the most of the Mount Taranaki even without the good equipment. Furthermore he draw our attention... More

We had a lovely stay at 93 by the Sea, with Pat and Bruce as our fabulous hosts! We stayed in the Rimu Room; a well appointed room with tea/coffee making facilities, free Wi-Fi, a very comfortable bed and access to a shared kitchen and outdoor seating area. The en-suite bathroom is a tad on the small side, but it... More
