Dean's studio is comfy for a couple or two people travelling and perfectly clean. We received a warm welcome from Dean and appreciated the fact that they'd provided a breakfast in the room for us to enjoy in the morning. The studio is located about 5 mins drive to mapua. Mapua wharf itself has some nice bars and restaurants. The studio is about 30 mins to abel tasman so ideal if you are exploring the area. We left early to get a water taxi so didn't get chance to say bye. Thanks for having us!
