I you're looking for a place away from the hustle and bustle, with a great view and beautiful surroundings, yet everything you need to survive for a week or two, and you have a car to get there - this is it. From the online pictures, the place looked a bit like your quintessential kiwi bach, so we expected to find 1950's decor, furniture and implements, and the dust that goes with it. Not so: The place is clean, modern, well insulated (we didn't need to heat despite it being late winter) with appealing decor, modern kit and even a little herb garden in a tree stump outside. We were a little unlucky in that we didn't catch the prevailing southerly / westerly winds, from which the deck is well sheltered with a huge glass balustrade - otherwise we could have sat outside, in August! Perhaps the best bit of the stay was the trip around the farm with Andrew, though - they do things a bit differently, and put quite a bit of thought into things. It was so interesting that we didn't even make it to the beach & will definitely come again.
