One of the best places we have ever stayed. The ocean views are fabulous, and the location perfect if you are looking to get away from the crowds. Lots of birdlife in the garden, including Tui. Occasional light entertainment with the odd train or ship passing in the distance, otherwise you're on your own (in a nice way). A short drive, north or south, provides access to amazing long white sand beaches. Dunedin is just 30 minutes south. We loved our 4 nights. We hope to visit again.
