Why it’s worth it

Black Marlin occupies a nineteenth-century whaling homestead; the cauldron foundations from the whaling days are still near the tidal pool. The menu is seafood with an award-winning wine list, and the garden has a camellia that blooms in four colours. From July to December, whales are often visible from the tables.
