This place is just pure magic and we'd love to come back again one day. It is the perfect retreat for a couple or single. First of all there's the beach which was lovely and warm and is sheltered from the wind. The deck provides every opportunity to sit and enjoy the view even if you don't want to walk the few steps down to the beach. Plus views from the kitchen, living room, bedroom.
This place is also the perfect jumping off spot for exploring the bays by kayak, a stunning walk up to Tapeka Point, or via the kiwi bush walk to Flagstaff Hill, and even Russell is about a 30 - 40 minute walk. Great dining options in Russell.
We didn't cook, but the kitchen seemed to be well stocked with everything, and the beach house had everything we needed. The heat/cool pump keeps the place at the right temperature, and TV/stereo to enjoy too. The host was friendly and accommodating.
