There are few things in life that should be exaggerated, the size of the fish you caught, the tastiness of a meal cooked by a close friend and how much ice cream you've had in one night....so believe me when I say that Matt and Bailee's place is HEAVEN ON EARTH. We spent a good majority of the time sitting on those inviting gorgeous couches looking out and periodically turning to each other being like "what...the...f***". The view is second to none, and the sound of the waves is magical. We even were lucky enough to go on a paua gathering expedition (which involved crossing the small river below) with the hosts' parents. Our only complaint is that we only spent 2 nights here. Already looking at the schedule trying to figure out when we can head there for at least a week to just unplug (no wi fi, no tv, no Netflix) and enjoy the serenity. If you don't take advantage of the outdoor bath you're mad, there was nothing better than relaxing while watching the sun set over the Tasman Sea. Just typing this up a few weeks later is making me crave another trip there.
p.s if you have a small car like us, definitely take them up on their offer for the loan 4WD (which in itself was a wicked experience, both my partner and I took turns (and fought) over who was going to drive over the rugged landscape).
