We had a fabulous time at Hugh's place. The photos don't do the bach justice. It is an older bach, as described, but very well maintained inside and out and is super clean. The beds were made up with lovely linens and were very comfortable. We all slept well! We cooked one night and both breakfasts at the house and the kitchen had everything we needed. Since Fleurs was closed, the second night, we went off to the Fishwife for fish and chips and crayfish. The Blue Cod and paua patties were the best I ever had and the chips super generous. Highly recommended.
Hugh is a fantastic host! He was kind and patient as we changed the date slightly, then the guest numbers to include our friends. There was a lovely welcome on the blackboard when we arrived and Hugh popped in and shared some local knowledge (if we didn't hear from him the Fishwife closed at 6pm, we would have gone later and missed out!). I booked this place because it allowed pets. Hugh had a water bowl waiting. The little deck has a gate to let the dogs outside safely - great for toddlers too I expect.
We all took our paddle boards. The beach was an easy stroll there and back and we were fortunate to get great weather and smooth harbour for many hours of fun - including a visit by a dolphin. We definitely would love to return.
