Beautiful setting, very friendly motelier, thoroughly enjoyable meal, and introduction to some wonderful Gisborne wines that we later sourced for further enjoyment. Access is via a skinny windy road that we were glad not to meet others using!

Great host. We arrived late with no food as we thought we could eat at the restaurant, turns out this is a separate business and not part of the cottage. Tim made sure we didnt go hungry and was an excellent bloke. The cottage was lovely and clean, and the views are superb. Thanks Tim.

When its good to be central to nowhere

4 / 5 Good

A great little/big shaded base camp for the coastal drifters. Central to nowhere and quiet. Big enough to kick a ball in the shade, with a good-sized kitchen/entertaining area. Yet small enough to easily maintain through your stay. The only bug was that I couldn't get the wifi sorted, which would be an issue for parents with whinging kids. Solid 4 stars from me :)

Peaceful cottage

5 / 5 Excellent

This is a cute old style kiwi cottage. Good facilities and well equipped. There were things of interest nearby but mostly needed the car to reach them. Easy to find with the owners instructions. Nice place to relax.
