You will be delighted with your stay at Blue Poles. It is a beautiful ecologically designed home with lots of glass for water views, and skylights overhead to see the stars or welcome in the light and sun. Your host is readily accessible by phone and responds quickly. The home has a large outside area with stocked woodpile and activities for children, as well as a flourishing vegetable and berry garden. There is a very inviting library of books and dvds available. You can sit in the sun looking out to sea through the large picture windows, watching fishermen checking their cray pots. Or you can travel out every day to attractive sites all over the island (cheese shop, oyster establishment, wine tastings, lighthouse and more). Don't miss the boat trip down into the southern ocean to see the seals. Or wait patiently for the penguins to come out of the water at night on The Neck to feed their waiting infants. There is plenty to see and do - or you can just relax in a beautiful place if you would prefer.
