We stayed two nights at Caro’s villa in Wainui - and highly recommend staying here. The first night we enjoyed a glass of wine on verandah in the last of the sunlight, cooked a meal in the very well appointed kitchen, and cosied up in front of the fire when it got a bit chilly. The villa has beautifully large rooms and heaps of character. Art, comfy sofas, fires, lots of cushions and a very friendly cat all make it very homely and inviting. The next day we lazed in the window seat in kitchen enjoying the lovely breakfast foods left for us, and later on had a fantastic back-road drive in the area and a walk down to the rocky beach. There are lots of places to soak up the sun on the veranda, at least four different seating areas each offering a slightly different view of harbour or neighbouring fields and sheep. A big grass lawn, swing, sheep & ducks next door and the odd Peter rabbit kept our four year-old happy too! Caro was an engaging and friendly host and even went the extra mile (literally) returning some left belongings to us. Thank you!
