Maxene and Ernie’s place is truly a gem. The large living room and bedroom windows look out directly to the ocean. We fell asleep every night to the sound of the waves. It is a wonderful retreat and is the perfect place to go and relax for several days.
Maxene and Ernie went way above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. They even purchased an air purifier to help with my wife’s allergies. The kitchen had everything we needed for us to cook our own meals. They even provided sugar water to place in the outside feeder for attracting the local tuis and bellbirds.
The Moeraki boulders and lighthouse are the local attractions, but the location is also convenient to many hiking trails and places to view fur seals, yellow eyed penguins, etc.
