Great location

Lovely location, clean, tidy and great little space for a family stay. One thing we didn’t realise which was probably our fault is that there is no oven! This is totally fine as the bbq was great for cooking everything just be cautious of this when you are planning what food to bring! Thank you for a lovely stay

Amazing property with magnificent views

This is an excellent property with amazing views of the beach and surroundings. Sunset is truly breathtaking. The property itself is in pristine condition with a nice attention to detail on decor and utensils required for long or short term stays. One of the best properties we’ve stayed in.

Great Stay!

Our second time staying at the cottages and both times have been the best. Family came with us this time and they felt the same, everything was easy, comfortable and the scenery gave us the West Coast experience that we were looking for - thank you!

Fantastic place. Wonderful view, very peaceful while also fully immersed in the wild & woolly West Coast (note: Aucklander talking). The cottage was great, it had everything we needed and more space than we expected. Highlights for two bird lovers were the curious weka, but especially the kiwi that starting calling somewhere up the back at dusk. Thank you so much Karen for providing such a beautiful escape.

Perfect base to explore from

Lovely well set up cottage with stunning views. A short walk up to the Pancake Rocks, biking trails just down the hill and short drive to Truman Track and Cave Creek walk. Such a gorgeous part of the country, would definitely recommend.
