Absolutely gorgeous little spot, and the Kanuka Cabin was really lovely, took me and my Fiancée right back down on a trip to memory lane to our childhoods. Has everything you need for a nice getaway, Far enough from town that all you hear is the Tūī and Fantails with the sound of the creek, and close enough to be at the beach in 5 minutes. Thankyou very much to Kat & Kane, you made our trip amazing! We will definitely see you again soon! :)
