“The view from our room was wonderful-- looking out to the bay. We had a special greeter on our deck-- a friendly and curious Kaka that hung out for a while and returned to take shelter during the rain. Very close to the tour guide locations.”

“Pick-up/Drop-off from ferry/airport is sweet, as the island is very hilly. We got very warm welcome and introduction of the island's restaurant/visiting center on the way. Milk offered was really fresh and tasty. Great balcony views.”
