What a wonderful place. We stayed here 3 nights and would've loved to have stayed longer if we had more time! We arrived and the cabin was in perfect condition - v clean and tidy. The shower room/toilet is modern and lovely. The bed was high up but extremely comfy and spacious. The kitchen was perfectly set up for holidaying and we made use of the toaster, toastie machine, cafetiere etc. I loved how Jane also left us bread, muesli, milk and an assortment of jams in the fridge for our breakfasts - such a nice touch which we weren't expecting.

We love the winding road that takes you to the cabin, which is lush with plants, trees, ferns etc. It's a short 15-min walk to the beach which is so beautiful. I also walked to the 'top shop' one morning to get some food supplies and stamps for postcards. It took half an hour to walk there at a leisurely pace and had everything we needed plus more! It also has a cafe and does takeaways for dinner, closes at 7pm so get there in time! We also loved the fresh fish and chips at Matti B's in the nearest village Waimaku which was open a bit later and only a 20min drive away from the cabin.

We didn't know the area at all but loved it and Jane gave us lots of tips and advice for places to go - restaurants, walks, mountain biking, surfing, trails to go on to see the gannets etc. She left us to ourselves but was available if we had any questions. We enjoyed the coffee she kindly made us on our last morning there and our chat with her on the deck of her house which has the most stunning views.

I'd highly recommend staying here - it's a little gem. We'd love to come back one day.
