Our family (2 adults and 2 kids) had a gorgeous time at this place. It was well equipped in the kitchen to self cater and we enjoyed the earthy, practical space and natural surrounds. We used the inside fire the first night which was toasty warm, and then had an outside fire the second night which had been carefully set for us, making it easy to light. The nearest beach was Childers Cove was spectacular as were the Bay of Islands.
