Des & Bev's place is cozy, well decorated, and an ideal escape for anyone visiting NZ. Jacob and I stopped at Des & Bev's on our NZ road trip of the North Island. It was an ideal location, not far from Auckland and really close to the caves! As hosts, Des & Bev provided an abundance of recommendations for things to do in the surrounding area and set us up with breakfast and other special accommodations. Would recommend this spot to everyone!
