This has to be one of the most unique stays New Zealand has to offer. Bruce was an excellent host and made it easy to check into the lighthouse. The views from the top floor are amazing and a great place to share a few glasses of wine. If you’re an early riser, you can also glimpse a beautiful sunrise early in the morning. You need to park halfway on a sidewalk outside the building near a curve which made me nervous, but luckily nothing went wrong. The bathroom is cramped, especially if you are over 6 feet tall, and there are a lot of stairs to carry luggage. This place was definitely worth it for us, just know that it’s slightly older and pack lightly if you can. Perfect for a one night stay during our honeymoon!
