Hugh accommodation is so cool, just across the road and you are on the beach ! Some little shops are so close to. You can rent quads bikes, boards and take surf lessons in Ahipara. This is a really great place to begin surf, i really enjoy that with nzsurfingbros :). Hugh is so friendly, he cook free dinner for us everyday we need it.. He’s a good cooker, fresh fish and vegetables from his garden ! He dropped us to our car rental too... Hugh is a really good guy, always asking if we need something !
