About Jenny's Bed & Breakfast


The Rooms


I have two rooms available in my own home - each one has its own ensuite facilities. One room has a queen-size bed in it - the other has 2 single beds (one is a king single). Each room has a desk and chair and with free wireless broadband available makes it possible for guests to catch up on internet activity.

Each room has its own heater, all beds have electric blankets, and the house has a high level of insulation to provide a warm and cosy feel - even in the middle of winter!

A Special Offer for Garden Festival Visitors.



27 October - 5 November 2023

Anyone staying at Jennys Bed and Breakfast during the festival time has COMPLIMENTARY access (by appointment) to Garden No.38 in the Centuria Taranaki Garden Festival book.

Located at 108 Mangati Road, this garden - "Tropics on Mangati" - is just across the street from Jennys Bed and Breakfast.


The Food


A breakfast menu will be available on arrival for you to make your own choice of food for breakfast and served at a time to suit you. Homemade marmalade and home-grown rhubarb is included in the breakfast menu. Hot porridge and free range eggs are also available for breakfast. Home-baking is always on hand to have with your coffee and tea.


The Location


Bell Block is on your northern approach to New Plymouth with the Airport just minutes away. Waitara is only a 10-minute drive away and the CBD of New Plymouth is 10km away. New Plymouth Airport is only a 5 minute drive north.
The Coastal Walkway now extends right out to Bell Block (within 400 meters of my property) and is a very popular place to walk or cycle. The Walkway meanders over an 11Km course following the rugged west coast of Taranaki, through the city and to the western side of New Plymouth.
There are a good variety of restaurants with many different cuisines all within 2kms (menus available). Check out Pukekura Park, the Windwand, the Len Lye Centre, PukeAriki Museum, or any of the amazing events that are on when you get to the city.


The Advice


I am happy to help you plan your tour of the city or district with the best things to see or do for you. Taranaki is well known for having so many places of interest (and many of them are free). If you are after good advice on restaurants, I can give you some good suggestions of places to go that you won't forget!
