Two of the four bedrooms are self-contained and all have sea views. An easy track leads down to the sandy beach where swimming, kayaking and wandering along the seashore are popular pastimes. For garden lovers spring is the highlight, when all the camellias, then azaleas and rhododenrons blossom, followed by the summer roses. Native birds abound, including tui, weka, bellbirds, wood pigeons, black fantails and shining cuckoos. Mary and Ray serve breakfast in their dining room, with panoramic ocean views from the turret.
Dinner is also available or some guests can self-cater.
