Tivoli Homestay is perfect for a weekend getaway, romantic retreat or honeymoon. Designed by Roger Walker, this five-level house - built to achieve maximum views of the surrounding areas - commands vistas from the Oakura coastline in the south to the White Cliffs in the north, including Mount Taranaki, the Central Plateau and New Plymouth City. Relax in a casual yet elegant atmosphere complete with beautiful private spaces, birdlife and exquisite interior decor. Enjoy a drink on the deck overlooking the coastline or in the turret with beautiful 360° views of the area, before retiring to your beautifully appointed room inspired by styles from around the world. Reflect on life's simple pleasures, relax in the spa overlooking the garden, unwind, soak up the views and be spoilt by your hosts. Tivoli is truly magnetising. Located just five minutes from central New Plymouth and within close proximity to safe swimming beaches, Paritutu Centennial Park, Breakwater Bay and the award-winning Coastal Walkway.

Jan and André came to New Plymouth from Cape Town, South Africa in 2001, after Jan was offered a two-year contract at Taranaki Base Hospital – and have never looked back. They purchased their unique Roger Walker designed house in 2005 and in 2011 decided they’d like others to enjoy their beautiful property and established Tivoli Homestay. They now enjoy dual citizenship in South Africa and New Zealand. Jan specialises in urgent care and holds B.MedSci and MB.ChB degrees from University Pretoria. André completed a PhD Chemical Pathology degree at University of Stellenbosch and a HDE at the University of Natal. Jan loves creating things in the kitchen and André loves creating things in the garden. They share their home with two Pekingese dogs Tokkelos & Nghala, two African Gray Parrots Zazu & Raka, a number of Rainbow Lorikeets and goldfish in different ponds around the garden. Both Jan and André love people and are first-class hosts. They have great local knowledge and will share with you the very best of things to do, places to visit and restaurants to dine on your visit to Taranaki.
