This special place is definitely for more adventurous travelers who like to go off the beaten path. We took a 30 min. drive down an unpaved road and then an ATV ride at low tide with Elva to arrive at this cozy and adorable cottage. Awaroa is a unique and stunning place on its own, but Elva and Geoff made our visit that much more memorable with their spectacular hospitality and conversation. Wish we could have stayed another couple of days, but this was definitely a highlight of our New Zealand holiday. If you can, have a meal with them. Elva is a fantastic cook!
