Deanna was a very gracious, hospitable host. She was always quick to answer questions and her home is exactly as described. We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay. Following her advice we had no issues with creepy crawlies, or an overly warm house. The outdoor shower, BBQ and fresh bananas (growing in the front yard) were added treats. Manini Beach, just a few minutes walk from the house, was the best snorkelling we found during our trip. Highly recommend renting kayaks to paddle to the Cook Monument - you might even have an encounter with dolphins and/or whales.
