As you can see from Google's satillite view, it's quite far inland, which provided for some amazing views from the ferry (aided by a slight clearing-up of the weather).
We drove about an hour down the coast, and arrived at our lodging for the night:
The owner was extremely friendly, and we also met a Swede named Claudio, and a Canadian couple who had been living and teaching for a year on the north island. (The Canadian couple was very excited to tell us to take the brewery tour in Greymouth, where we're headed in a day or so).
About 20 steps from our door was the small bay where we spent the afternoon kayaking.
In the morning, we drove further north around Golden Bay. We stopped for lunch on this beautiful beach. There was no one else there.
