This location is "out of the way" - it's a drive to the place and a short walk to the water. If you're looking for privacy, a place to base your adventures from, and somewhere close to amazing views - this is the place! The home is beautiful and eco-friendly, the hosts are wonderful communicators, and it's only a half hour over the mountains to more of New Zealand. I loved this and will be coming back - a great place at a great price. More than worth it!!
