Perfect quiet place, the only thing you'll hear are the birds and cows and the ocean. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The view from the lounge out into the green is wonderfully relaxing. We didn't manage to watch TV, other than via internet on demand, but who needs TV anyway?! We'll definitely be back to explore some more walks in the area. Obviously, the Heaphy track is right around the corner, but don't miss the Oparara Arch and the caves! Well worth a day trip! Also some other shorter walks nearby, such as the giant Rimu tree.
