Pam (we didn't meet Barry) was an attentive hostess and her beach house is modern, tastefully decorated and well equipped with everything you might need, including breakfast provisions. It wasn't until we were leaving that we noticed the wealth of information about the interesting history of Tokomaru Bay in the visitors' book, so I would recommend having a look at that. We also didn't figure out how to work the Sky TV channels, so it's probably a good idea to get a lesson from Pam if you're technically challenged like us. We enjoyed fish and chips for dinner and our tour of Pam's art gallery. All in all, a lovely stay in very comfortable accommodation.
