This is off the scale in terms of location and scenery... 10 stars! The cottage is most comfortable, well equipped and there is an attention to detail of high standard. Pauline is very attentive and helpful, and ensured our stay was most enjoyable. Hicks Bay is remote and the area has a distinctive feel. The East Cape drive along the coast, the light house climb, the beautiful coastline, the local walks, the winter stillness, all create a special experience.
