We just left this beautiful Oke Bay Historic home, it was hard to pack up and leave! We stayed for 5 days and 4 nights and it was breathtaking. When I went to write my review I saw the review from the person who stayed here right before me and I am puzzled. The owner of this home includes a lot of information about the home including its historic nature, past and currently planned renovations, and detailed instructions so you can use all features of the home. It’s nice to stay in a home with lots of features and clear instructions on how to use all of them. The home uses rainwater so you need to be aware of how much water each person is using and conserve. Most people are happy to do this in return for fresh tasty rain water to drink and bathe in. Bring enough clothes for your holiday so you do not have to do laundry, that takes time away from all the trails and beaches, and relaxing on the porches or decks.
This home is in a remote location with a view of one bay from the front and another from the hill in the back yard. The night sky is amazing, as is the bird song and the lapping of water against the shore. Lots of beach combing and walking tracks, or just sit and enjoy one of the most beautiful places on earth. One of the complaints was about the TV. If you want to watch TV you can, but why would you? Don’t come here and watch TV at night, this is one of the best places in the world to view the night sky. If you must have your favorite show or sports game bring an iPad and watch online if local service does not suit you.
The beds were comfortable for us. Allbthe activity, fresh air and exercise made for good sleep each night.
We are delighted with our choice to stay here and Julian was available whenever we need him but was never intrusive. Just a wonderful experience from beginning to end for us on our delayed honeymoon!
