The views from the Hekerua Bay apartment are stunning. The bay is also a short walk away, down a fairly steep pathway right to the shore. Sandy Bay, which is an excellent swimming beach, is only a couple of minutes wallk on from there, and we enjoyed a cool morning swim both mornings. What a wonderful way to start the day! The apartment is very well appointed and the beds, llinens and towels are top quality. The bathroom is also very functional and we enjoyed being able to shower etc. with comfort and appreciated the organic products provided. One of the main bus lines runs to a bus stop nearby. We had a bit of a hassle with the buses on one of the days, but generally they run very accurately to schedule because they meet each of the ferrries every day. We were there in unusually bad weather but still enjoyed ourselves. Cooking was possible, especially with a very easy-to-use outdoor bbq. Inside there is a kitchenette with a portable, single induction hob that was very effective.
