I loved staying in Ruth's beautiful studio space. It's a really relaxing place to be - with the bedroom up above and the living space down below. The place is five minutes walk from the Gannet colony and a little bit more down to the beach. Its surrounded by a beautiful garden full of butterflies and flowers. There is a basic kitchen (microwave, kettle, toaster, utensils, sink, fridge, freezer etc - no oven/hobs) so you can do simple cooking, which is good because there's not a huge amount of food choice in Muriwai.
Ruth gave me great advice beforehand and was a great host during my stay.
I had a brilliant time relaxing, spending time on the beach, walking in the hills and generally unwinding. I particularly enjoyed watching the sunsets from the top of Ruth's garden every night.
