The Residence Fitzroy is apartment-style accommodation set right in the heart of Fitzroy village, New Plymouth, and managed by Mellow Stays. The property offers a collection of studios plus one, two and three bedroom apartments, where full kitchens, washer dryers and separate bedrooms are just some of the luxuries on offer.
The location does a lot of the work: food, shopping and the beach are all within a short stroll, and the wider attractions of New Plymouth sit within easy reach. With contactless check-in and check-out, an off-street carpark covered by CCTV and unlimited free wifi, the property is set up perfectly for that longer than average stay.
Every apartment includes one free off-street car park, and the range runs from a snug first-floor Studio with kitchenette up to a Penthouse 1 Bedroom Spa Apartment with spa bath, twin-rose rain shower and Juliet balcony. The two and three bedroom apartments offer flexible bed configurations for families and groups, with super king beds that can be split into singles if desired.
The Residence Fitzroy sits on Clemow Road in the heart of Fitzroy village, a short stroll from food, shopping and the beach in New Plymouth. Managed by Mellow Stays, it is apartment-style accommodation built around a simple idea: a stay away should work like home. Across the collection of studios and one, two and three bedroom apartments, full kitchens, washer dryers and separate bedrooms come as standard, alongside air conditioning, unlimited free wifi and TVs carrying 50+ Sky channels.
The property is set up perfectly, as its own description puts it, for that longer than average stay. Contactless check-in and check-out mean you can arrive on your own schedule and let yourself in without waiting at a desk, and every apartment includes one free off-street car park covered by CCTV. The result is what the team calls great value luxury accommodation.
The range runs from simple to sumptuous. The first-floor Studio is the cosiest option: a king bed, a kitchenette with microwave and fridge, a bathroom with shower and a 50-inch TV. It is the one room on the property without full kitchen and laundry facilities. The Studio Apartment, by contrast, is fully self-contained in an open-plan layout, with a combi microwave/oven, full refrigerator/freezer, cooktop and washer/dryer, plus a rain-head shower and luxurious stone vanity.
The one bedroom apartments step things up. The ground-floor One Bedroom Ensuite adds a heat recovery system and air conditioning, a full kitchen with in-room laundry, and a tiled bathroom with an oversized shower running two shower roses and a stone vanity top. The One Bedroom Lux offers the same practical bones — full kitchen, in-room laundry, separate bedroom — in a similarly luxurious finish. Each pairs a king bed with a 50-inch TV in the lounge and a 42-inch TV in the bedroom.
Families and groups have real options here. The two bedroom apartments spread over two floors: upstairs a full kitchen with breakfast bar, a full-sized dining table with booth seats and a lounge with a 50-inch TV; downstairs two separate bedrooms, each with its own 42-inch TV. Those bedrooms can be configured as king and super king or king and two singles — handy whether you are two couples or parents with children. The Spa version adds a bathroom with spa, while the Lux keeps things to a beautifully tiled bathroom.
At the top of the range, the 3 Bedroom Spa Apartment places a master bedroom beside the upstairs living space, with a spa bathroom and two further bedrooms below — all sleeping in super kings that can be split into singles if desired. The Penthouse 1 Bedroom Spa Apartment is billed as the ultimate in luxury: an oversized tiled shower with two shower roses and a huge rain head, a spa bath, electric recliners in the lounge and a stacker door opening onto a Juliet balcony.
Fitzroy village puts the essentials within a short stroll, and the beach is close enough to weave into a morning routine. Further afield, New Plymouth makes an easy base for exploring the region — the property's own local guides point guests toward the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, Pukekura Park and local events in the shadow of Mount Taranaki.
Back at the apartment, the practicalities are handled: accessible accommodation facilities for guests who need them, air conditioned units, free wifi and a dedicated car park at the door. Whether it is a working trip, a family holiday or a slower explore of Taranaki, the full-kitchen, full-laundry setup means you can live rather than just lodge.
Bookings can be made online with live availability, or by phone or email for anything specific. If you are weighing up room types, the accommodation pages lay out each apartment's layout and facilities in detail — worth a read before choosing between the compact Studio and the Penthouse with its spa bath and Juliet balcony.
