Perfect for a short stay
Excellent, everything was as described. Our family stayed for four nights. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen contained all of what we needed a huge amount of coffee if you are a coffee drinker :). A little more space for food (and clothes) would have been good for self - caterers like us.The communication with the host was lightning fast and Heather is very friendly and helpful.We were very lucky with the weather which made strolling along the beautiful beaches a delight. In case of rain it might be advisable to drive to Invercargill.Heidrun, Robert and daughter Maia
