Fantastic place, very remote, exactly what I wanted. I enjoyed the sound of the sea, the sound of the birds, the sunrises and the marvellous views, and also swimming and fishing with the neighbours.
The house is very beautiful and has a huge terrace. Amenities: spotless.
Tips:
# Stop in Martinborough and go shopping. There are no shops here.
# Read and print out the manual before (!) you arrive, there is no mobile signal here.
Motorcyclists:
# You will find a place to park your bike, there is even a garage.
# BUT: A dual purpose bike/enduro is a must, a street bike will not make it.
# Garmin Zumo does not know the place, coordinates are:
41°28'57.7"S 175°34'29.3"E
# Coming from Martinborough, there is a small blue sign at the left "Te Awaiti", some miles later you will arrive at a junction, turn left to "Te Awaiti Station".
# Ride carefully.
