The Devon Hotel - New Plymouth

We stayed here with our two kids nearly 5 and nearly 3 last night and honestly it is perfect. The room with two queen beds was huge, the beds were so comfortable and felt like sleeping on a cloud. Any staff we came into contact with were so friendly, kind, and helpful. The pool is great for keeping the kids occupied, and open from 7am. There are so many beautiful outdoor places to sit and enjoy a drink and some food, and having the buffet at the doorstep is great with young kids. The hotel is super close to the beach very easy walking, and very central, about 3 minutes to Pukekura Park. We had a wonderful stay and will absolutely be back. Thank you!

A historic place to stay, excellent dinnernbuffet with wide range of cuisine, perfect for family! Breakfast is very basic, we had fresh fruit on the first day but not on the second day. Complementary bike and laundry were bonus, excellent for family traveling with kids. Very concerned about the cleanliness of bedding, there were hair and stains, wencontacted receptionist and someone came with clean sheets then we changed the sheets as it was very late, and said they would clean up thoroughly next day, but did not happen. Anyway, we enjoyed our stay overall, but with some disappointing.

Our second time staying at The Devon first being a few years ago.nBoth times have been great, lovely staff, facilities and room. Very nice upgrade on the bathrooms since last time.nThe pool and spa is awesome. Both are the perfect temperature.nJust a suggestion, it would also be nice to have some more hanging space to hang wet togs/towels after swimming.nLook forward to coming back next time we are in New Plymouth.

The Devon is our go-to hotel when we visit New Plymouth. We wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. Lovely comfortable beds, clean, bright rooms. Great pool & wonderful, helpful staff. It ticks all our boxes.

We stayed on the night of December 13, 2024, and found the check-in process to be straightforward, though not quite at the level expected of a 4-star hotel. However, the room, bathroom, and amenities were clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. As it was a Friday night, the bar was lively and bustling. Unfortunately, the pool closed at 9 PM, which we felt was too early and prevented us from enjoying it. Despite this, we had a pleasant experience overall and would love to return for a 2-3 night stay in the future to fully enjoy the hotel and explore New Plymouth.
