This has been one of our best stays in new zealand so far . The owner was very friendly, took us to our room and explained everything to us , unlike some places give you a key and you find your way . The views were beautiful. Would stay again and definitely recommend 😀

It looks like a nice small town. We ate dinner at the Fishing Club, where we had a nice meal at a reasonable price (after paying the $5 membership fee) while enjoying the view of the water.
