It is important in reviewing airbnb places to consider what one originally hoped for. What I hoped for was a place that was not clinical in atmosphere and not unremoved from local life.
My children played with Elke's children. Elke gave us information that no guide book could. I cooked and cooked and cooked until Elke's own kitchen was devoid of equipment (I am an highly fussy eater).
In the mornings I climbed down to the boat shed and watched and felt the sea lap the rocky shore.
This charming place, my favourite in all New Zealand, is enhanced by Elke's delightful cottage. In her garden. Be very sure about what you want. I have lived in NZ for 10 years. Elke's is first on my list for a holiday destination.
