Appreciated the quiet surroundings, the fire and the provision of the pre-cut logs and pine cones, the comfortable beds, the quality of the crockery, cutlery and utensils. The weather on the Saturday was hot, dry with not a cloud in sight so we fished from the wharf, which was only a few minutes away, and were rewarded with large trevally - caught on squid bait. Aotea beach was worth the 20 minute drive, fished for a while from the beach until it clouded over, returned to the bach just as it started raining, lit the fire, relaxed to play board games followed by our home cooked roast dinner. What a great way to spend three 'winter' days away, wish we had booked in for longer - will do next time! (A couple of notes: toilet seat needs attention, an outside light would be helpful and instructions for the tv.) Thank you Roberta for your friendliness and understanding and for letting us use your 'home away from home', we had a memorable time and hope we are able to visit again at a later date.
