The highlight of our trip, a hidden gem nestled on a beautiful Aworoa bay estuary! Geoff and Elva are fantastic hosts who helped make our trip relaxing and enjoyable. Book two or three nights to fully appreciate as timings of getting to and from the house depend on the tides.
The standalone cabin behind Geoff and Elva's off-the-grid house is perfectly outfitted with a comfortable bed, plenty of space, hot water, and excellent cooking supplies and utensils. This home is part of a small row of houses completely isolated from the "mainland", so plan to bring food and supplies for your stay. Despite the remoteness, Elva's thoughtful breakfasts rivaled many hotels'. There is limited internet availability, but I didn't bother with it in such a beautiful place.
Excellent access to walking tracks, Aworoa lodge restaurant and cafe, or walk or kayak across the estuary for some peaceful solitude. Elva and Geoff were eager to provide recommendations on walks and advice on the tides and were always available nearby while also giving us privacy.
