New Zealand
Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: we liked the quietness of the place, the view on the ocean (we spotted humpback whales right in front of our accommodation), the equipped kitchen with all needed to cook, the terrace open on the sea
Negative: lack of proper dark curtains: we arrived around 2 AM at the accommodation and were awaken at ~6-7 am by the sunlight going through almost transparent curtains which were not covering the whole windows by the way. No way to swim or snorkel in front of the accommodation; lots of unfriendly roaming dogs in the neighborhood (and not only, that's a island-wide problem) at night (not good when you like to walk to the restaurant for example..); no answer from the managers of the accommodation to our request to book a shuttle for going to the airport (~36 hours in advance) - they were not there, we had no phone access and we finally had to hitchhike to go to the airport with our 2 large baggage.
Summary: nice for a few days
