We had the most amazing time. Absolutely stunning spot and the accommodation had everything we needed. We saw dolphins in the bay, gathered crayfish from the boat and caught fish off the point. Native birds everywhere! We felt very lucky to be able to enjoy this slice of paradise.

We stayed for three nights as part of DOC work. Was a cute little bach in an amazingly peaceful bay. The hosts were very lovely. Make sure you read the description well and bring toilet paper and linen. The bird life was fantastic, kiwi calling at night. Close to all the tracks and a great way to experience Moturua island.

Such an amazing place to stay. The wood burner kept us warm in the middle of winter. Kiwis on the deck at night. Will be back!
