Great outlook out to sea from living areas and bedrooms.It was good having a fire as it was very cold. The only disappointment for us was the weather which stopped us from enjoying the deck and beautiful view. We thoroughly enjoyed a day at Hastings Thermal pool and caves. The pub was great for dinner which was suggested from the host. We also enjoyed a BBQ at the property. A remote and secluded area of coastline offering lots of natural beauty. ##### Susan B.
