Lovely remote break
Awesome place, had fun on the kayaks, heard the Kiwi and saw other bird life all around. With no light pollution around, had clearer view of the milkyway too.
We absolutely loved our stay. Peaceful, quiet, great for our dog.
We are already planning a trip back. Excellent dog friendly accommodation. Definitely better than anywhere else we have stayed with our lovely labradoodle. She had a terrific holiday too.
