Ara Station is a beautiful home in a wonderful setting in the Bethell's Beach bush. Mary-Ann was a welcoming and a gracious host,providing a beautiful breakfast in the mornings. Perfect location for enjoying the local walks, including Lake Wainamu and views of the beach. The studio room had a comfy bed, lounge and dining table with a lovely deck to enjoy the sun. A wee kitchen with kettle and hot plate made it easy enough to self cater. Really appreciated the sanctuary, thank you so much Mary-Ann.
