The set up and service is great. It's only a small facility and very boutique. I would have liked to have given this a 5 star rating but have reduced this down to 3 stars as the chocolates are rather expensive. We were offerred some small tastings. I know it's unique and the main selling point is non preservative fine... More

We had a morning to kill before handing back our camper van, so decided to pop in. You can see the cooks preparing the chocolates and there is a very tempting shop. We were offered 3 samples and could not resist buying macadamia toffee crunch, hot cross bun chocolates and bosenberry chocolates. There are all sorts of chocolate related gifts... More

You can see the the chocolates being made (and smell them too - which does not involve consumption of excess calories), they have a free sample to try when you go in there which was the Macadamia Butter Toffee Cruch and one other. There chocolates are very nice indeed - however the... More

Makana however is extremely good and well worth the stop we made on the way back to Auckland after 4 wonderful days in the Bay of Islands. The... More

I live in Australia, I now have chocolate send to me on a regular bases.. and if anyone's having a birthday, xmas, Easter... More

A friendly, fun family business where you can watch the chocolates being made, or try your hand yourself before picking up a few to indulge yourself later. On the main road, its easy to find and the place is fantastically clean (and thankfully air conditioned!) to make a handy stop off before going to the beach or delving into the... More
