Dawn & Peter's place was the absolute highlight of our travels in New Zealand. We didn't expect it, it was even better than the pictures. We stayed in winter which was perfect as we turned on the fire, relaxed and enjoyed fresh local oysters and mussels to cook for dinner. Dawn kindly provided us with all the info we needed to cook up a storm. No shops/cafes etc. immediately nearby but that is the charm of this place. It's a short drive to town. We can't wait to return, especially when it's warm enough for a swim in that turquoise water.
