Sooooo relaxing..... We extended our stay after 2 days of beautiful weather, peaceful days, good waves for surfing and a great day hike. I think there is something here for anyone who loves the outdoors. The beach is a short walk through the lupins out the front of the house, there are good surf beaches close by and there are great trials to hike or cycle. Town and the supermarket are a short drive away. We also feasted on fresh crayfish and paua caught/collected by local friends and wild venison left in the freezer for us by our host, Meghann.
This is a beautiful, spacious, tranquil property. It is light and airy, has fabulous indoor-outdoor flow and lost of different outdoor dining spots so you can move away from any sneaky breezes. The whole place is well appointed, including plenty of towels for the beach. It also has a large outdoors area and garden.
Trains rumbled through close by a few times on our first night - a Friday - to the great delight of the men amongst us, but the weekend was much quieter and they didn't disrupt our overall enjoyment of this gorgeous location. We will definitely come back to this charming cottage one day. Thank you Meghann, finding your place was a big win for us.
