Incredibly peaceful and quiet. The birds were incredible to see and hear! Easy walk (at the end of the cul-de-sac at the bottom of the hill) to the beach by way of a mowed path. Beautiful!

Perfect place for a quiet getaway

Spur of the moment decision to spend a night away. This is a gorgeous spot on the hill overlooking Wainui. Quiet, restful and great seaviews. The birdlife was a lovely, unexpected bonus.
