We booked this stay to have a relaxing getaway and chill out. This was just the perfect spot to do so, with amazing sea views plus you have private access down to the rocks to see the seals and maybe do some fishing. Also close to lots of interesting places to visit and things to do. Palmerston (10 mins), Oamaru (30 mins) Hampden (15 mins) all with takeaway food and/or restaurants/pubs, if you dont feel like cooking. Then theres Trotters Gorge with its walking tracks, Oamaru Farmers markets and McCraes Mine with heaps of historic points to look at and an amazing pub! House is far better in real life, decorated just perfectly suiting the house and surrounds, immaculately clean with everything you could possibly need plus more! Very highly recommended and Maxene is lovely and easy to deal with.
