We visited Marakopa as part of a road trip to explore the west coast of the North Island. Prior to our visit, I had no idea just how remote it is. Despite that, the road access is fine and with a number of unforgettable must- visits along the way.
Donald's house is on the rear section of a property up quite a steep, unsealed drive. There is plenty of space for vehicles, and the views from the living area are stunning. The kitchen area is well equipped, there is comfortable seating in the living area with a generous dining table with a good selection of books.
I had read the description of the house as being 2 bedrooms- one queen bed is in the corner of the living room . The 2nd bedroom is a spacious, clean converted garage space with room for a pool table. I cannot comment on how warm that space would be in cooler weather.
We knew there was no cellphone connectivity in this area. Apparently there is wi- fi in the house but we were unable to find the code .
