    They arranged a van to pick us up and drop us off with luggage which was great. The location was excellent just a short uphill walk from the wharf and main little town so it was easy to get around. The room was nice surrounded by nice gardens.

    Kaka Retreat was very clean and spacious and the staff were very helpful. We had a very rough ferry crossing and we were allowed into our rooms early which was a real blessing. Thank you for making our stay great.
