Magical, restorative and serene. Two nights here undid months of city stress – yoga on the sunny deck with visiting piwakawaka, a bath under the stars with the ruru calling, simple meals prepared in the well-stocked kitchen, the most divinely comfortable bed, the toasty fire. Special thanks to Brian who went above and beyond to help when my car wouldn't start – he shot off to Te Horo and came back with a mechanic bearing spark plugs. Such kindness. Wonderful experience and communication all round, looking forward to coming back with friends and kids in a couple of months (but kinda want to keep the magic all to myself). Thank you Brian, Sue and Kate, and John for the legacy of this special place.
