We completely fell in love with Jude's place! And judging by the visitor's book so have many others. Jude has managed to create the perfect sea-side cottage on the perfect sea-side property, with 360degree views over rolling dunes to the huge and endlessly changing Tasman Sea. The landscape has not been spoiled with inappropriate development and Jude's planting is just right for this absolute beach-front place. It is a short walk down the drive to walk on an empty beach, where we found penguin footprints; while around the cottage we were entertained by a weka family with a tiny fluffy chick. There is a very comfy bed and very well-stocked kitchen, including bread and jams - and my favourite Lindor chocolates! There are decks on two sides so you can get out of the wind whichever way it blows and, although the cottage itself is only about 25m2, it is very well thought-out without being cluttered. In short, it is just perfect!
