Aramoana Castle is a magical place far away from anywhere. A short walk through the dunes brings you to a beautiful beach with penguin sightings. The view from my second floor room was of The Cliff. So amazingly beautiful is Aramoana, and the restful sanctuary I needed.
I arrived late in the dark after getting lost in Dunedin, but when I arrived, Margaret helped me bring my luggage in, made me some tea and gave me some dinner. It was so cozy by the fire, talking story and listening to music. I fell in love with Blue and Olive, the two dogs on the property. I wish I could've taken Olive with me as a travel companion.
Margaret did everything to make me feel at home. If you're keen to have a chat, she's there. If you need some quiet time, you can have it.
Thank you so much, Margaret, and I hope we meet again! Aloha! :)
