The property and location are sublime. We visited in the winter and during a particularly wild & rainy weekend which meant we spent most of our time at the property itself. There would be few places in the world where you can say you actually enjoyed watching all of the wild weather unveil itself in front of you!! The private beach is suitable for all tide paddle boarding and kayaking. The house was spacious, understated and very warm and welcoming. The ultimate location to unwind or replenish. And its only 5 minutes from Russell, one of the cutest destinations in NZ. We didn't want to leave and will be back to sample the summer experience too.
