We had a lovely time amongst the nature and birdlife. Stunning pathway down to tent and it felt like we were so much further away from everything than we were. Amazing to be in nature but have everything on your doorstep.
It's quite a way from ferry/Oneroa (expensive taxi's over a weekend to and from) but if you just want to chill and do some walks from that area then that doesn't matter at all. We rented eBikes which were dropped off (and collected) from the accommodation on one of the days which was the perfect way to explore the island and avoid taxi's again.
We love camping so it was nice to be in that setting. Hosts were amazing! We were going to be late for a wedding after a taxi booking didn't work out and so he (forgot his name...whoops!) gave us a lift to the church which we so appreciated. Super friendly and very kind of him to do that given he was getting ready for his own trip into the city!
Highly recommend. Especially if you want to get away from it all.
