Ipanema is a classic retro fibro beach shack, full of character. We were welcomed with wine and cheese and listened to vinyl all week: there are some excellent selections and the shelves are full of fantastic books and dvds. A great place to relax, unwind and read in front of the fire listening to records, and the ocean in between. The Wye River General Store make great coffee and breakfast. In winter the driveway and stairs were a bit treacherously slippery in the rain, but once we were settled in we didn't want to leave!
