Our Lap Pool is magic - deep and warm in summer, with views to die for - and the Hot Tub is a haven of warmth in winter. Jog to the beach, swim, jog back, hot pool shower, a few laps, hot tub, hot shower, gourmet breakfast... Heaven.
Isla's Glen - behind our beach lies the Red Bush Dog, Rua Kuriwao. Then our track leads inward to the remarkable beauty and tranquillity of Isla's Glen. Pause on the hand-made seats and contemplate the beauty around you, the peace, the tinkle of water. Refresh in the quiet cool of the shaded glade in a hot afternoon. It is only 5 minutes from Marino Ridge to the beach, 7 minutes back... ;)
