It does take a little more effort to get here and is therefore worthwhile spending a little longer here to enjoy more of what Golden Bay and Adrift have to offer.

The host made us feel so welcome from the start and the property was such a dream. We didn't have the best weather, but our stay was still so magical. It was a place we can't wait to come back to for an extended stay in the future!

Thanks for staying with us Brittany! We're so happy that you enjoyed your time here and look forward to seeing you next time!
Stunning property/ villas beautifully done and the grounds are magical. The view down to the sea and the sound of the waves makes it very relaxing. We did not want to leave! We only ventured out once and that was to have dinner at The Mussel Inn. Gordon was lovely and welcoming. We will definitely be back! Lee and Mark!
