Birdlife heaven
Sadly we only had one night in this beautiful place. Check in was so easy, my husband was straight out with camera while I settled into comfortable accomodation. Bed super comfortable, bedlinen so soft. We always cook because I'm coeliac and lactose intolerant. Very good cooking facilities including plug in frying pan. Large fridge with separate freezer, great for freezing our chiller bag blocks.

I wish I could have stayed longer
Lovey place to stay, I loved waking up and looking out across the water with the pukekos wandering by. Everything I needed (and more) was there. Sad I wasn't able to stay a bit longer and the weather right for an opportunity to go for a paddle.
