Everything Was Perfect

What an amazing place this is – everything was perfect; location, staff, cleanliness, facilities, activities, everything – they just cannot be faulted. We stayed here for 3 nights and loved every minute of it – when our last day came around (way too fast) we were sad to leave. Mike and Lynley the owners/hosts were just amazing, very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They went out of their way to ensure we had the best stay possible, Mike baked up a storm and it was amazing! Hopewell had all kinds of people staying from very young to elderly so it is perfect for anyone who wants to escape to paradise for a time. Being animal lovers their dog Tui was a big bonus and we loved having her there to play with and cuddle. Thanks so much Mike and Lynley for your hospitality.
