Fantastic location, beautiful views of the sunrise across the ocean straight from the master bedroom. Watching the ocean change throughout the day was such a perk of this place. The wild bunnies, and train behind the house were added excitements. Shag Point is just across the road, and both Moeraki and Palmerston about 15 mins away. The house was warm and bright, with a well equipped kitchen for a meal. General traffic noise could be heard with windows open, but easily ignored and traffic could not be seen. The driveway is easily accessed, though would recommend turning around in Shag Point Road if approaching from the North, and lots of space for parking up the driveway. The host was very communicative, helpful, and quick to reply. Would 100% recommend for couples, or small groups. We definitely would love to stay again!!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Disappointed with the place as it wasn't clean! Floor & windows weren't clean & ceiling had spider webs especially in corners, garden needs a good weed, thistles everywhere! Fence was falling over at back. The only good thing was bed was comfortable & shower worked well & train was novelty going past. Sorry just been honest.

It was a last minute reservation that worked out great. A seal colony lives a short distance across the highway. Plus found hiking trails close by.

A fantastic location for relaxing, fishing, walking on the beach and watching the local wildlife. The property was tidy and warm. There is some road noise but nothing that disturbed our sleep. The occasional train passing by didn't really disturb us either, in fact it was a bit of a novelty to see a train.The patio area at the rear is a real sun trap in the afternoon. Generally a nice stay. Will possibly be back again.

Great spot!

This property was great for a couple of nights, reasonably priced, plenty of room, nice and clean and easy drive to local hot spots and right next to the beach. Located on SH1 which I was fully aware the noise of the traffic did somewhat take away from the sounds of the sea and if you had young kids you would need to keep a very close eye on them. Will stay again!

there is so much to do right on the door step or the space to relax while taking in the views. With a 10 minute drive you can enjoy New Zealands best fish and chip shop or walk the many beachs. Thanks for the mosr unwiding,relaxing and dream hoild spot.

Wanted a quiet breakaway and this is exactly what we had. Property was clean and tidy. The heatpump did the job to keep us warm. Bed was super comfortable. Our only negative is house floors are really uneven and sloping to one side.

Stayed a couple of nights on a weekend, Friday & Saturday nights.Beautiful spot with a lovely view.While the main road is just below, you cant see it, looking out over bush & sea. The road noise is not a problem, barely audible. Theres also rail behind. We only heard one train and it wasnt bad.Overall, very peaceful. Just what we needed. And the morning view from bed of the sun rising over the sea was brilliant
