What a fantastic place to be! Haiying was so helpful and this was such a lovely, peaceful getaway! If you come without a car, be prepared for a bit of an uphill walk, as described, but we took the ferry over from Wellington and enjoyed tramping around the area, swimming, jumping off the Days Bay Wharf and taking in the views. If you're up for a challenge, we definitely recommend the East Harbour Regional Park track to the Lowry Trig Viewpoint. Simply gorgeous overall!
