We stayed at Sheryl’s house in Hahei for four nights as our second stay on a seven week tour of the North and South Islands
We had a lovely stay in Hahei. Sheryl’s house is exactly as described and seen in the photos. The views over the surrounding countryside are truly beautiful. And Hahei itself is a really nice little seaside village. We enjoyed the beach (despite less than perfect weather while we were there) and really enjoyed the walk to Cathedral Cove, the walk along the peninsula at the other end of the beach and our visit to Hot Water Beach. Sheryl lent us a bucket and spades so that we could dig down to the warm water and bring over some cold water from the sea when the water got too hot.
Sheryl makes beautiful ceramics. Some of the tiles in the garden are hers.
Above all we appreciated Sheryl’s warm welcome and helpfulness.
We would have loved to have stayed with Sheryl for longer. So instead we will do our best to come back to New Zealand as soon as we can. And we will stay with Sheryl again when we do.
