We enjoyed our 2 days at Hakea. Beautiful bush nearby, 2 lovely cats, Winky and Tinky. Winky came with us on one of our walks which was cute. We met a friendly couple from Holland who were working there as Interns. We also met a woman from Estonia who we chatted with while we were boiling the kettle for a cup of tea. Dan was helpful and had lots to share about Hakea. He is very dedicated to looking after this place. My husband and I went on the Loop walk to the Estuary and loved the bush and the views. I would also recommend Hakea for a place to go for a retreat. Arohanui/ love Jenny and Keith
