Breakfast was included and there was a lovely array of eggs, cereal, toast and spreads. We were lucky enough to walk along the beach and find a sea lion sleeping on the sand. ##### PHILLIPA Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KepplestoneByTh, Otago, New Zealand 29 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed staying here.
