This is a little slice of heaven -- immaculately clean, well-equipped, peaceful space; spectacular view; wonderful swimming and lounging beach; fantastic cafe/restaurant around the corner (Eggcentric); a brief drive to Hot Water Beach and other incredible spots like access to Cathedral Cove; a fun few-minutes ferry ride from a town with great cafes and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our fabulous two-night stay in mid-February. Thank you, Carol, for all your lovely extra touches -- from the little flowers by the bed and in the bathroom to the beautiful herbs, zucchini and plums you shared from your garden. And your tips on walks, cafes and local sites were so helpful. Our only disappointment was learning we couldn't extend our stay another night due to your place already being booked -- it was hard to leave the lovely retreat you've created! We look forward to staying with you again on our next visit to New Zealand. Next time we'll know to book for longer -- a week or two would be grand!
