About this property

An original Granity miners house built onto over the years. The inside is tastefully decorated and fully equipped for a lovely getaway location.
The stunning bay window over looks the ocean and is a perfect place to watch the magical Westcoast sunsets. A large built up deck sits at the rear to make the most of the afternoon sun.
A perfect location to explore Northern Buller. Close to the Old Ghost road, charming creek walkway and Denniston. Just an hours drive to Karamea and the start of the Heaphy track or a 30min drive back to Westport.
If exploring is not for you then sit back with a book and relax or wander the beach.
Beach access at the back of the property has become a bit tricky due to the coastal erosion but there is easier access a short 1min walk along the road.
Linen and towels provided
No smoking or pets on property.
Please note.. Shower is over bath.

Magical place

We loved our stay at this cottage. Even heard the penguins one morning and had lovely weather to explore the area. Well set up and comfortable.

Verträumtes Haus an der Westküste

Wir haben uns in Maries liebevoll und geschmackvoll eingerichtetem Haus am Meer sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist toll, in der Küche alles bis hin zu den Gewürzen vorzufinden, was man brauchen könnte und spannende Bücher und Unterlagen zur Gegend am Wohnzimmertisch. Danke für den angenehmen Aufenthalt!

On the beach

Great place to stay to experience a West Coast beach at the front door. Rustic, quirky and a proper Kiwi crib/bach. We loved the blue penguins under the house. Their quirky chirping and calling under the floorboards was thrilling. Eat your heart out, David Attenborough! Never enough to be at all annoying and we actually wanted them to put on more of a performance.
