The Tahakopa Bay Retreat is places in an idyllic location, extremely private with incredible views over the hills and out to sea. We had two miles of beach to ourselves and at night the stars gave an incredible show. Although the beach is only ten minutes walk, the path is steep and a little uneven in places but well worth the effort. The beach was clean and we saw evidence that deer had visited. Our hosts provided plenty for breakfast. If seclusion is what you are after, this is the place.
