Beautiful, tranquil and a relaxing get away. We loved hearing the wildlife, the ocean and the rain as we snuggled in front of the fire, ate out on the deck, or as we went off to sleep at night. Ian has thought of everything, and is an excellent host. His house is closer than you’d expect, and this is disappointing when you arrive, however don’t let that put you off for a moment. Ian is a gracious host and respects privacy, allowing his guests to enjoy the quiet of the space, undisturbed. If we needed him, he was there, but otherwise kept to himself. The local beach was beautiful and we loved being able to see glimpses of it from the house. You’re close enough to hear the waves when the wind is still at night, but too far to walk there - and we don’t think you actually can. We highly recommend this as a place to spend some down time without distractions, and well worth the trip to Johanna.
