Nice place to stay
"Reception was excellent and early check in was allowed upon our arrival. There was a lovely little little courtyard where our group gathered four sundowners and snacks prior to going out for dinner. While the view wasn't great, you could hear the ocean, which was nice."

Small but beautiful town. Tons to do. Sadly my seal encounter got cancelled due to weather, but my dolphin encounter was the best thing I've ever done in my entire life. And I heard the whale watching was also phenomenal. When I get back to NZ
