Denis (aka George) was a phenomenal host. My boyfriend and I booked last minute for Christmas evening, and George was not only accommodating of us crashing his holiday, but he even cooked us a special dinner because all restaurants in town would be closed. He then helped us find kayaks for our trip to Abel Tasman, calling up multiple kayak companies to find ones with availability. George is kind and welcoming, as well as an incredibly interesting person. Definitely stay here, and be sure to ask George all about his incredible life story!
