United States of AmericaThe location and hosts are wonderful. We sat on our beautiful deck every day watching the waves roll in. We also saw humpback whales from our deck--amazing. Fell in love with a mama chicken and her adorable chicks that visited us--so adorable. We highly recommend staying with Rudy and Kanoe.

AustraliaLoved being so close to the beach, enjoying the sound of the waves and wind, without being crowded by other tourists/resort type. Lovely gardens, super peaceful and spacious. Great covered balcony to enjoy. The bikes lent to us made the commute to Muri easy (too far for daily walking- need bikes or a car). The hosts are delightful and kind.
