We really enjoyed our stay with Mark and Chris. We received a very warm welcome and kind hospitality and even Oprah, the adorable puppy, joined in making us feel welcome. We had a very comfortable bed and the room with ensuite was very clean and tidy. The location was great for visiting Cape Reinga and the stunning Karikari beaches. Mark’s tips for places to visit were very useful and much appreciated. Mark and Chris are very friendly and great company and we enjoyed hearing about their careers and adventures.
We definitely recommend having the evening meal. We ordered dinner on both of our nights there and on each occasion the food was excellent. Mark and Chris both spent a lot of time and effort preparing fresh seafood which we really appreciated and enjoyed as well as a lovely pasta bake, and a very delicious cheesecake.
We wouldn’t hesitate recommending Mark and Chris’ home to anyone and hope we get a chance to stay again some day. Thank you Mark, Chris and Oprah for a really lovely and memorable stay.
