Thanks to Monique and the Tūī & Nīkau team. I absolutely enjoyed my time in the Tōtara cabin. Manaakitanga is one of the biggest principles and customs in Te Ao Māori and this place had it down to a tee without a doubt. I loved having my own independence and privacy, and close location to restaurants and beaches, but also secluded in the beautiful native bush amongst the sounds of the Tūī and other manu.
From great communication, to having the candle lit upon my arrival, and also to the small touches in the cabin (good, quality beverages, bathroom and cleaning products, kitchenware and décor) I will definitely be coming back. I cannot rate this any higher but I recommend a 2 night stay at the bare minimum.
