Close to Cable Bay & Mudbrick

This is a fantastic location for travellers without a vehicle. It's a very short walk down to Oneroa, the passenger ferries and a couple of wineries where many weddings take place. Really amazing island.

Lovely room close to vineyards and Oneroa

Although the owner is not on site he was very helpful, the room was lovely, spacious, great view, walking distance to Oneroa, Cable Bay and Mudbrick vineyards. Delightful private escape!

No wifi, no land line, not on bus route, no staff

The apartment is nice but felt like "Church Bay No Escape". We had to walk to Cable Bay Winery (5 min walk) and ask them to call us a taxi. Check out is 11am, a bit early. Only lock box to pick up your key so no staff to help. Some improvements to wifi and phones would help a lot.

Hi Brian, The apartments are self-catering. There are no staff on site for you to call on. It is a very quick walk into the village or down to the main road where the buses are so am a little confused about your comments here about being stuck. We are in a fantastic location so close to the village but still very private. I am sorry it was not everything you wanted. Regards Dave
