Surfing, fishing off the rocks or just listening to the waves: this has been a surf and fishing spot for generations.

The lounge is timber-lined and built around the wood stove, with a window seat on one side and a wide window to the sea on the other. On a wet day this is the best seat on the coast.

The adjoining deck is the 'Sunset Bar': a cast-iron table, a run of timber railing and the whole coastline to the south. Bring a platter out late in the day and stay until the light goes.


The views ! Absolutely unbelievable. We had a great stay, felt right at home as soon as we stepped in the door. The place feels lived in, in the best way possible. The home feels like lots of great memories have been made and we got to add to that !
