Wonderful for time out, beautiful views and birdsong
As the title indicates, this was a wonderful, opportunity to replenish spiritually and emotionally. We were fortunate with good weather, but the views would have been sensational whatever the weather, and the quietness and beauty gave 100% restoration, even within a 24 hour period.

Quiet cottage with excellent ocean and mountain views. Kathryn and Kevin are wonderful hosts. Lots of walking trails nearby. Accommodation even comes with a fire pit, barbecue, kayaks, two dogs and a cat! (and a sometimes resident kiwi). We enjoyed a great four days here.
