My husband and I loved the way the design of the Bure Wera is so perfectly suited to its location. The materials are tasteful and in visual harmony with the surroundings. Both the living/dining room and the bedroom have large glass doors that offer an expansive view of the beautiful garden, the beach beyond, and even a little glimpse of the ocean. We kept the curtains open the whole time to enjoy the view, as the garden offered complete privacy. The cottage is hidden from the beach by bushes, yet it is just steps away. The section of the beach with the hot springs is just a five-minute walk away — no streets to cross, just a shallow stream to wade through. The cottage has an outdoor shower with hot water, which was especially welcome in the winter (you get really sandy sitting in the hot water pools on the beach!), and there’s a huge tiled indoor shower. The kitchen is minimally equipped, but there is a decent stove and oven (and a grill outside) that can handle preparation of simple meals. We would usually have one meal each day at Hot Waves Cafe since it has Wi-Fi (the cottage does not) and really great breakfasts, lunches, and take-out options.
