Vicky and Dino were wonderful hosts; their place was perfect for our time in Tutukaka. Comfortable, clean and homey with a lovely garden and amazing birdsong.
High winds scuttled a planned day of diving so our Plan B canopy walk in the AH Reed Memorial Kauri Park and short hike to the falls near Whangarai were a happy way to spend the morning. We enjoyed two days of diving the Poor Knight’s Islands - spectacular views above and below the surface. The Dive Tutukaka team ran a tight ship and smooth operation; Schnappa Rock was great for a post-dive beer. Everything, including the general store, was a short distance away. Super convenient.
We could easily have stayed longer - still so much more we would have liked to explore in the area with such a cozy and welcoming home base. Thank you Vicky, Dino and Cleo!
