This is a very special place. I think this house is the embodiment of why AIrbnb is so special — that a traveler can find themselves in this private home with amazing views of nature. I cannot overstate how spectacular the views are in this home.
It is cozy: my husband and I travelled with our 18 year old daughter. We agreed that this would not be a good fit if traveling with people whose company you did not enjoy. We relished the opportunity to sit together listening to the surf and watching the sea change colors. My daughter startled a penguin on her way to the bathroom one morning. We explored the tide pools and cooked great meals in the kitchen. At night, we all slept very to the sounds of the water.
We were so lucky to find this home. Daniel is a terrific host. Anyone traveling on the west coast of New Zealand’s South Island should make the trip to stay at this exceptional property.
