| Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday. Such a gorgeous spot and our sons loved exploring the Whaling Station on the days we weren’t out fishing! They’re already planning their next holiday up there and who they want to come with us next time! Linda & Mike Harrison, 4th- 14th January 2011 Thank you both so much for making the Whaling Station available and the exceptional assistance with setting us up. The house and cottage were clean and tidy when we arrived. Thanks for that. We’d really love to come back again. My enthusiasm for the place rubbed off on my brother who has now booked it for a couple of weeks. Richard Gilbert, 24th- 30th December 2009 Having just enjoyed a traditional 'Sounds' holiday I am more than happy to recommend a stay at the historic whaling station. Well sheltered from NW winds our children aged 2 and 3 delighted in endless play on the secluded sandy beach and explored rockpools at low tide. We sat back to relax and watched the ferries passing while enjoying all the comforts of home without the interruptions of TV and phone. We needed to bring little more than food and a few clothes as there was a wonderful supply of books with toys and puzzles for the children. With the added interest of the boat trip down; the whaling station to explore; wekas to feed on the lawn; watching schoals of herring on the incoming tide and trying to fish off the end of the 'wharf' at night, there was plenty to entertain all ages. Our one regret was not staying longer! Many thanks for a lovely short break. -Jenny & Roland Mapp, 8th-10th December 2009 |
