Our one regret about Steeples Cottage was not staying there for longer. I guess like many travelers before us Cape Foul Wind was a one night stop on the way to somewhere else. We could have happily spent our whole New Zealand trip here! The cottage is perfect the garden amazing and the'Lookout' is a super place to watch the ocean from. There is a lovely beach just down the road and the seal colony is well worth a visit with the bonus of an ice cream after your walk. We are already planning our next NZ trip and a stay at Steeples Cottage for at the very least three nights will be high on the list of 'must dos'.
