Book Dean hotels

Very large, comfortable room with all facilities. Very high standards of cleanliness and room maintenance. Friendly staff and a good restaurant/cafe serving pub grub type food. Excellent value for money.

Pictures do not do the cabin justice. It’s a real sun trap with a great outdoor area. Extremely comfortable and cosy and only 5 minutes walk to the Church Bistro. Everything you need to be fully self catering.

Beautiful escape from the city. Friendly host, cozy farmland setting, and kitchen cookware provided. Would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here for a night before a Doubtful Sound cruise. The location was perfect (right down the street from the RealNZ ferry). The facilities were simple but very comfy. Right along the water with multiple paths around the grounds. Felt like a cool little community with many different travelers. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to this area!

The lodge is located in a very remote location, despite of getting groceries are so inconvenient, Blake showed great generosity and hospitality to all the guests, make us feel like staying in an old friend's house. Kitchen, bathroom, and bed linen are of 5-stars clean. If you're planning to go on the Hump Ridge Track, choose Rarakau Lodge for your pre-departure accommodation is definitely the best option.

We really enjoyed our stay here but the layout is definitely different. It is not for people with mobility issues but otherwise it is great. The are multiple places inside and out to enjoy the view and it is pretty spectacular. We loved sitting in the sunroom and enjoying the view of the hills and the river. If you are doing a cruise from Manipouri dock, such as the Doubtful Sound tour you literally can not stay anyplace closer. It is a 3 minute walk to the pier. I will remember our stay for a long time.
