Annette's place is a wonderful discovery at the end of a long drive - glorious view of the Cavelli Islands, with the waves rolling in just off the edge of the deck! It's very peaceful and immediately you start to unwind. The apartment is very well equipped (with 5 different modes of coffee making no less). The bed is very comfy, the shower huge and a good volume, but the deck is the place to be! There are no shops, but Annette fore-warns you about this. Instead there is a great beach, interesting rock pools and a reef, sparkling clear water and an interesting estuary. We heard kiwi at night and saw several dotterels on the beach in the morning. The tight-knit local community obviously looks out for each other and takes care of the wider environment. The houses are all appropriate for a laid-back beach holiday, (with only 2 over-sized exceptions!). Oh to be able to stay longer.
