Dean’s place was great. It is spacious, homely, lovely private garden, and Dean’s communication was excellent. Everything we needed for a super relaxing stay. The location was really handy, right next to the Ōpunakē walking loop which our dog loved too, 10 minutes walk to the shops, cafes, and beach, and also close to Taranaki National Park for some great hikes. We would absolutely recommend staying here and would like to stay again when we are next in the area!
