Manfred & his son Rakiura provide top notch hospitality in their beautiful home on Jensen Bay. As ecologists it was nice for us to stay outside of town, and very close to a couple of the nice short tracks. Even got to spend some time with kiwi on two of our night walks! Don't forget to plan for a trip to Ulva Island to enjoy the birds there that are thriving in the absence of non-native predators common on the mainlands.
Jensen Bay House is a decent walk from town, especially depending on how much you stop to look at things, so plan accordingly (maybe rent a bike). Our hosts were very helpful regarding transport on a couple of occasions, but they are both very busy people so we just got lucky with timing.
