This property is absolutely beautiful. We only had time for an overnight stay, but would highly recommend it for a longer stay. There is a steep walk up to the property, but there is just about everywhere in NZ. The accommodation is spotlessly clean and walking distance to the seals and penguins. Great place to stay.
