NZ Herald Travel editor Stephanie Holmes :- "Other accommodation worth checking out in town is the Historic Kohukohu Villa, where hosts Dee & Sean will treat you like a VIP.  Meals are available and you absolutely should partake - Dee is a wonderful host and the multi-course dinner we  enjoyed, was an absolute delight. Hours of great food and even better conversation meant we left feeling like old friends." Dec 2020

“E mihi ara Ki a Sean me Dee mo te reka o nga kai me te manaaki nui. Wonderful to sample such sincere honest and frankly bloody delicious hospitality.”
