Within a few hours, sitting by the glass corner wall watching a storm, we resolved to come back. The Studio is designed with several glass wall corners (one is in the shower) so it is like living in a tree house. Alastair and Ling graciously showed us the main house, which is very skillfully and thoughtfully built of beautiful reclaimed wood, capturing New Zealand history and spectacular views. Every detail is thoughtful, just what you need (including a real bread knife!), inviting you to relax on your private deck, on the grounds, or down by the beach. If you want a small furry guide, Kung Fu is available for a belly scratch or a beach walk.
