Totally escape to the end of the road and get right away from it all. Relax in total silence with no traffic noise at all.Walks from your doorstep through the wetland or follow the old logging roads up through beautiful native bush alongside the Patarau river. The West Coast beaches are just a few minutes drive down the road with long sandy beaches and rock pools in between. Enjoy our complimentary guided tour through our glow worm grotto and our spectacular night sky

Hidden gem!

Absolutely lovely stay, away from people, and in a stunning area of Golden Bay! The hosts were welcoming and full of information. The walk around the property was delightful and not too far for little legs. We stayed with our 4 and 6 year old and thet loved it. Thank you :)
