The ultimate crib experience! Quite and secluded with only the roar of the Pacific to keep you company, this is a wonderful place to get away from all the drains of civilisation! We had a wonderful stay and would return in a shot.
The space: it was just the two of us and it was an absolutely perfect size for us. Tastefully decorated, it is well-furnished with all the necessary modern accoutrements to make it a really very comfortable. Soft, warm beds, a big television for when it rains and most importantly, a roaring fire for those cold winter days made it just a lovely space to chill in. It won't suit everyone: there isn't wifi, for example, but that's precisely why we chose it. We find it hard to unwind. We unwound here.
The location: Chrystalls Beach is isolated. 20km from bustling (!) Milton, it makes sense to bring all you will need with you (food, recreation etc) as it would be an enormous hassle to go to town. The cell reception is actually pretty good, but you won't need it. The beach - effectively on the crib's doorstep - is one of the most beautiful we've been to. There are a few neighbours but they weren't home, I assume they would be in summer. But ultimately, it was isolation we were after and that's what we got. It is a beautiful part of the rugged south Otago coast.
