Loved our stay at Jeff's place! The location was excellent, and waking up to peace and quiet, with only a short walk to the beach was amazing! We stayed during a particularly windy weekend so hung up the linens in the bathroom as we weren't confident they would stay put. Would definitely stay again!

Great place to stay

We had a wonderful time at this lovely property. It's like an old fashioned kiwi bach brought fully up to date and made very comfortable with everything you could need (BYO linen). There is a great little pub/restaurant down the hill and Kaka Point is an excellent place to explore the Catlo s.
