The views from Louise’s place are simply stunning, and having the deck and bbq area are perfect for a night outside watching the boats pass in the distance. It was a good place to relax after a busy road trip around the South Island. The location is far enough from town to get a real sense of privacy, but not too far that going back in for groceries was a mission! A kind neighbour told us about some nearby glow worm caves that would be very cool to check out, and having beach access was also a bonus!
The bach itself could benefit from a few bits of maintenance and housekeeping. We did understand that it was indeed a bach and weren’t bothered by the odd cobweb or visiting spider, but not sure if it was just due to end of summer, it was in need of a deep clean. Communication was alright but not great, I’d not heard anything about check in procedures until I messaged the morning of to ask, and didn’t get a response when asking about a tidy-up procedure upon leaving. Little things really, but just seemed odd.
Apart from that the space is lovely, it’s cozy on rainy nights and those views, stunning in the sunshine, are worth it.
