Susan and Den's Retreat is just fabulous. Close to Hokitika, you drive through forest into their lovely glade and know you've found something good. Boz's ongoing welcome added to the expansive hospitality of this generous couple. Too cold for a BBQ, we adjourned to the fire to reminisce over several vinos on our individual travels - so good to share the laughs. Especially when travelling alone. And the facilities are a credit to Den's construction skills and Susan's design. Ideally suited for an overnight or several days, the rooms are not only attractive but extremely comfortable and warm. And their local knowledge was great for selecting my sightseeing ventures. I loved it & will certainly revisit if my travels bring me back one day. Jenny G. Sept 2015
