We couldn't believe our lucky with this spot. When it said the beach was private we still didn't really think about what this would mean. It is one of the most beautiful beaches we have been to in NZ and the fact that there are no crowds and sometimes you're the only one there due to it being only accessed by those who own or are staying in bachs makes it all the more special. The inlet, with its changing tides and warm water, as well as the crystal clear water of the lagoon which is just a short walk around the rocks at low tide, were breathtaking. The loft itself is separated by a wall from the main home. It is simple but has everything you need and was big enough for the three of us to stay. We even managed to make tasty pizzas in the bench top oven. We loved having meals out on the deck, surrounded by lovely trees. Make sure to drink your morning coffee on the bench at the front of the driveway that looks out over the bay. We also had plenty of tips from Sharon and Reuben about things to do. We would definitely go back.
