Fantastic stay for more than a week. The view is outstanding. Love Emma’s design eye and the way she’s curated the furnishings, colour and art. It’s very comfortable even if you might feel slightly overwhelmed at first. There’s just so much to take in but it’s all gorgeous. Take care crossing the road as the traffic belts around the corner. Have a wander around the rocks on the shoreline which is part of the Taputeranga marine reserve. Island Bay supermarket and shops are a 30 minute walk or short drive away. A beachfront cafe for brunch/lunch is around the corner from Island Bay towards Red Rocks - a very nice 20 minute walk from the Skandi House.
