Great view of cable bay and our family had a comfortable stay. Was beautiful enjoying our breakfast on the deck . Unfortunately there were animals on the roof (possibly possums) most nights which did wake us, something that can’t really be helped. If you are sensitive to light or travelling with little ones like us I suggest bringing an eye mask or blackout blinds as most rooms had some windows without curtains/ blinds. We were surprised at the lack of toiletries ( bring your own hand soap, body wash shampoo etc) and also there wasn’t tea, coffee or milk provided. We couldn’t find the bbq, but I’m sure if we asked Chris he would have helped us, as he stays just below the house by the water. Nelson was 25 mins away with a great selection of restaurants. On our stay we drove a few minutes down the road and enjoyed a morning walk, visiting the cable bay cafe followed by a swim. We didn’t use the kayaks as we didn’t have our own life jackets so remember to bring some if you wish to kayak.
