Teapot Cottage (50's time-warp)

STEP BACK IN TIME into our charming 1950's "grandma's cottage", a LIVING MUSEUM of a simpler era, before tvs, microwaves and computers. No WiFi, so UNPLUG and ENJOY the authentic vintage memorabilia and cosy fire.
WALK the beautiful Hari Hari Coastal Walkway or TAKE A DAY TRIP - 50 mins south to Glaciers, 50 mins north to Hokitika. EXPLORE natural HOT-SPRINGS within a short drive and walk or SOAK and STARGAZE in the cottage garden FIRE-BATH with stunning farm/bush/mountain views.
ALL WELCOME, no discrimination.

Heaps of classic books, board games, puzzles, and vintage dress-ups for those wet West Coast days.
Kid-friendly - cot, highchair, toys, swings and bikes.
An authentic cottage with old-fashioned quirks, such as woolen carpets and a bathroom just outside, through the laundry.

2 kms from Hari Hari village, in an area of great hiking, fishing, hunting, lake swimming and boating.

Natural Hot Springs in the riverbed just a 5 minute drive and 15 minute walk away - one of the Coast's best kept secrets.

Genuine West Coast hospitality from hosts who live next door but will respect your privacy.

Teapot Cottage is on the same acre property as our other (completely different and off-grid) accommodation, 'Wildside Lodge' and 100m from 'Hunters Rest', our bnb with all the mod-cons.

Special conditions:
Pets may be allowed with prior approval.

Extras: Linen (included);
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition, before you leave you are expected to: Leave the house as tidy as you found it; wash AND dry your dishes; wipe benches and stove.

Period cottage winner
We went just looking for accommodation in the area and liked the fifties style idea. Unexpected bonuses were the choice of period costumes to dress in for dinner at the end of a fantastic day exploring, with a huge LP selection to play on the period gramophone and a fantastic log burner all wood chopped and dry.

An awesome experience
We found the cottage was warm, welcoming, very comfortable and very interesting. A big thank you to the host for the property tour, stoking the outdoor bath and assisting us whenever needed. A thoroughly enjoyable and memorable experience. Loved it!!
