The views from the sun room were better than the pictures on the website. I spent a lot more time there than I expected. Mona is fantastic - having someone with such good familiarity with both Stewart Island and the house was a real positive. The path to the beach was a little narrower than expected, but it's manageable and not very long. The house also had more room than I expected. The room with the wood stove and tv has lots of space to spread out and would be great for families.
