It was like being welcomed by family, but even better we had privacy. The view is AMAZING!! The town is idyllic. The local people are warm and friendly. The seafood is delicious and freshly caught that day. The sunsets and sunrises are a photographers dream. I got lots of good shots. Love the Moeraki Boulders too. My husband said Wow when he walked into the place. I booked it and he hadn't seen the photos. We will be back for sure. Moeraki is a step into tranquility.
