We had a lovely 2 days based at Annie’s house. It was a perfect location to walk down to the car ferry which we took one evening and ate fish and chips on the jetty watching the sailing. We also took it and walked the path to Paiha then caught the passenger ferry to Russell which was a lovely walk. It is a bit of a trek back from Russell so you do need a car. Annie told us about a little beach down from the house which was lovely for an evening swim. thanks Annie!
