Although there are other houses along this stretch, you really feel in the. middle of nowhere. It's a rugged and mainly deserted spot of beach. We didn't spend as much time here as we'd have liked but were glad to be close enough to Kaikoura but not too close!
I should have read the listing more clearly, to spot the details about bringing linens and towels but our host was very responsive and all was solved. Always pack a towel.
