About this property
Escape to your own private fairy tale sanctuary!<br><br>Tucked deep in the West Coast’s wild green, there’s a place where the ordinary world steps quietly aside - and something softer takes its place.
Welcome to Enchanted.
By day, it's pure childhood - children racing across emerald lawns, building kingdoms beneath the ferns, discovering corners that feel lifted from a storybook. The zipline, trampoline, tree hut, slackline course, glow worm dell, and bush tracks keep them spellbound for hours.
We're just an email or message away if you need any assistance during your stay. (enchanted@hostd.nz)
Our team stays busy managing multiple properties, so for the quickest response, please contact us through the reservation platform where you made your booking rather than calling by phone.
We're here to help make your stay just fabulous!
Discover pure magic at this breathtaking estate.
Nestled on gorgeous private land where rolling green lawns meet wild bushland in perfect harmony, this haven sits just 12 minutes from town yet feels worlds away from ordinary.
The Space:
Choose your experience - sleep up to 8 in the main configuration, expand to 12 for larger groups, or host special events for up to 20. However you arrive, you'll find comfort, style, and room to breathe.
What's Included:
* Stunning glass atrium dining room flooded with natural light - the heart of every gathering
* Luxurious spa for soaking under the stars
* Expansive emerald lawn that stretches like your own private park
* Zipline, trampoline, tree hut, and slackline course for endless adventure
* Glow worm dell and bush tracks winding through secluded native forest
* Outdoor entertaining spaces with warm lighting for evening magic
* Fully equipped kitchen for feasting together
* Cozy living areas with timber beams and inviting corners
* Complete privacy wrapped in birdsong and rustling palms
Perfect For:
Intimate family getaways. Friends' reunions. Corporate retreats. Milestone celebrations. Elopements. Creative escapes. Or simply a staycation that feels like crossing into another world.
Wake up to native birdsong. Dine under the stars in your glass-enclosed atrium. Soak in the spa as dusk settles. Let the children run wild while the grown-ups settle into slow conversation. This is where memories aren't just made - they're lived.
Your enchanted escape awaits. Enquire today.
Welcome to Enchanted.
By day, it’s a wonderland for families - children darting across emerald lawns, inventing kingdoms beneath the ferns, uncovering secret corners that feel drawn from a storybook.
By night, it settles into something more grown-up - warm lights flicker, glasses clink, and conversations drift well beyond candlelight.
Weddings here feel almost otherworldly - a glass atrium drenched in natural light, surrounded by the quiet majesty of bush and birdsong. Retreats breathe deep here too - a sanctuary that stirs both creativity and calm.
There’s magic, yes - but not imagined. Lived.
In the rustle of palms. The soft glow of lanterns. The echo of laughter under timber beams. Every detail plays its part in the spell.
Enchanted isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to play. To gather. To celebrate. To feel something again. A hidden pocket of the coast where the trees lean close and whisper,
“Come closer - the story’s only just beginning.”
A little note for your stay at Enchanted
Because Enchanted is so beautifully tucked away and surrounded by nature, mobile reception can be a little patchy at times. To stay connected with ease, we recommend logging onto the property Wi-Fi as soon as you arrive so you can still stay in touch even when cell signal drops out in some areas of the property.
You’ll find all the Wi-Fi details in your guest manual, and once you’re connected you will be set for the rest of your stay.
This is a wonderfully family-friendly property, with plenty of space for kids to play and explore.
The outdoor area includes a 7 x 4 trampoline and a purpose-built zip line, a tree house, slackline course and your own private glow worm dell making it a great choice for families travelling with children.
Please note: Smaller children must be supervised when using outdoor play equipment please.
Whether it's an intimate gathering of two families reuniting, a luxurious Airbnb escape from the everyday, or a staycation that feels like you've crossed into another world entirely - Enchanted bends to your story. It holds space for whatever magic you're here to make.
By night, it shifts. Warm lights flicker, glasses clink, conversations drift long past dark.
Elopements here feel otherworldly - a glass atrium flooded with natural light, cradled by bush and birdsong. Retreats find their rhythm too - a sanctuary that stirs both creativity and calm.

In the rustle of palms. The glow of lanterns at dusk. Laughter echoing under timber beams. Every detail plays its part.
Enchanted isn't just a place to stay. It's a place to play. To gather. To celebrate. To sink into nature and feel wholly present.
