Great getaway spot
Lovely classic bach in the middle of nowhere, neighbours were quiet and very few cars passing (maybe 15-20/day). All the amenities were great - the fire heats the property up beautifully. Only small thing is that the tank water has a lot of sediment in it so consider bringing your own water if that would bother you. Would recommend and would return.

No beach access
While the house was great and very warm with an amazing view, there was no access to the beach and nowhere to walk beside the water except back over the hill. The access road in was very rough with bad potholes, rock debris on the road, and a sand drift we had to drive through.

Quiet and remote - loved it!
Very pleased with my stay here. The house is unpretentious and simple. It really is about simple batch living, and this is it's charm. There is a wonderful wood burner that does an amazing job of keeping the place nice and warm. The batch looks right out on to the South Pacific Ocean and the sounds of the waves are ever present. At night - without the clouds - you have a clear dark sky view of the stars and galaxies far away.
