So thankful we found this accomodation which Dave has built and made available. A bit more remote, but some basic provisions and we were all set. Loved the easy track down the property to the stunning black sand beach at low tide at sunset on the first afternoon - we had the entire beach to ourselves - epic! Super hot water pressure on the open air deck shower - you do not feel the cold until you dash into the spa and soak up the views of the Karioi mountain, farmland and ocean. Stunning stars and moon on a clear night and the ability to hear the sound of the sea from bed and open all the doors and windows with screens closed is a plus. Loved the visits from Chewy and Spud the local 4 legged co hosts and Dave who was super friendly. All round so glad we spent 5 special nights here - Raglan was a regular 30 min easy drive away and Bridal Veil Falls, Ruapuke beach and Te Toto Gorge lookout easy gravel drives to access as well. We look forward to a return trip in the future!
