A really great place to stay. Classic old villa, very comfortable inside with large beds and nice outside deck spaces for morning and afternoon sun.
Amazing location, private sandy beach with clear calm water. Incredibly quiet, at the end of a unsealed road with short walks around private land to a little creek and lookout. Highly recommend the walk up Te Ahumata from Blind Bay Rd and taking out one of the two Kayaks or the rowing boat available at the house for a paddle around the bays..
Kind of place you don’t want to leave!
Check in with Lyndon the caretaker was great, very friendly fella to have a chat to as he showed us around and told a bit about the history of the house.
There is a LCD tv there but no dish or aerial (has a little DVD selection instead), so take a chromecast and load up your phone before you go. Just about get 3G reception in some spots around the house.
