All our properties are on the West Coast of the South Island, in the Buller / Kawatiri district and encompass rainforest, beach and town. We sit on the Great Coast Road between Westport and Greymouth, with Punakaiki, Karamea and Reefton within easy reach. Each listing page shows the exact spot.
Pick a stay, check the calendar, and book through this site. You’ll get a confirmation by email. If something looks odd, or you need two properties at once, email us and we’ll sort it.
Self-catering. Linen, towels, a kitchen you can actually cook in, heating, and parking are typical — but stays differ (our tiny house is not a family bach). Each listing has a detailed description, If it isn’t on the page, ask before you travel.
If any property shows a minimum stay that does not suit your plans, just flick us a message and we will sort it
Some properties allow pets, but some don’t because their location is in a native species sensitive area “Please ask first”. Don’t assume. The listing for each property will say pets or no pets.
Some of our properties are close to clifftops, have unfenced water, decks without a balustrade and steep drives so are not automatic kid country. Read the stay. If in doubt, tell us ages and we’ll be honest.
These are getaways, not venues. No events, no extra mattresses on the floor unless the listing allows it. Neighbours and the bush both prefer a quiet night.
West Coast roads do close in extreme weather, and we know that sometimes guests have to change their plans at short notice, so we always try to be as flexible as we can regarding cancellations.
All our properties offer fast wifi
We get regular weather updates from Metservice. Sometimes it’s wet as forecast and sometimes, forecast weather does not arrive. It can be wet one minute, then suddenly glorious. Pack a shell. A rainy day here is still a good day.
We live locally so are able to fix issues when they arise, or sort out a problem if you have one.
