Well located and being back from the lake a few blocks, and up the hill, meant better views and less sand flies than if we'd been staying closer. Great to be able to eat out on the terrace and watch the sunset and let the wetsuits/kayaks dry out below.
Close to Greymouth and able to go to hydroslides and fossil around the town in the morn, then jump off the swing bridge into the river and paddle kayaks in the arvo without a rush, before dinner and then walk a small bush walk in the evening to see glow worms
Good hospitality and communication ... already talking about doing it again and staying there longer (first trip and didn't know what to expect).
Highly recommend
