Our best experience is the amazing view. We arrived late afternoon, it was obvious the house needed airing after the previous guests. The laundered towels could be hung elsewhere to dry not in the living room, it was not the welcome we wanted to see. Make sure you take milk especially as it is a windy 10 mins drive back to Havelock for milk. Lucky for us, we asked the helpful gallery owner we saw who helped us with where the nearest place to get milk and food from. Ideal place for a family or if you love kayaking. Communication with the owner was great.
