We had only one regret about Carol and Dean place, it was far too short a stay. Thoughtful, hospitable and cheery Hosts with over the top amenities, literally half of their home for our use, a beautiful outdoor Spa set under the stars, a Continental Breakfast better than a 5 Star Hotel because Dean himself prepared and served it to us and to top it all off his own Honey from own his bees graced the toast options. With just 10 minute walk into town for the classic NZ Fish and Chips or a romantic stroll by the ocean , this is a must stay in Hokitiki. Thanks Dean and Carol !!!!
