+By far my favorite accomodation in New Zealand! Stunning scenery, loved the decor and so well equipped for a family stay despite no wifi or TV we had the best time. Definitely worth walking down to the river. We will be back!

“It was a beautiful home to stay in and I’ve recommended it to all of my friends. We were lucky enough even to receive so”
+It was in a beautiful private location, and a charming house with lots of space for us which felt very homely and comfortable.
−A few bugs around but mesh over the windows kept them out pretty well.

“Incredibly cozy cottage with great amenities, ideal for a small group to stay a few nights.”
+Incredibly cozy and comfortable cottage with great amenities. The kitchen has all the equipment one could need. Everything was very clean and practical. We especially loved the record player and the fresh eggs that were provided for breakfast. We wished we had stayed there longer!
−The only very minor thing is that we spotted a few ants in the kitchen. Not an actual trail or infestation, just a few. I imagine it's hard to avoid in the middle of the West Coast rainforest.

“Awesome place to stay”
+This is an idillic place to stay a bit off the grid. Great views down to the coast. The Cottage is well equipped with everything you need, feels so homely and welcoming. We did the short walk through the bush to the river for an evening swim - awesome experience. Unfortunately we only had one evening here.

“Amazing! Stay for at least a few days to make the most of this property!”
+What an absolutely exceptional property if you like off-grid, eco-friendly, country vibes. The host (and her gorgeous dogs) met us with a basket full of organic eggs that we enjoyed for breakfast. You need to stay here for a number of days to enjoy its full potential. Unfortunately we were only here from 5pm until 10 am :-( Keep in mind you need to bring all your food from Greymouth to cook as this property is miles from anywhere, and once you arrive you won’t want to leave!! They do provide lots of herbs and spices and oils for cooking as well as a wide selection of teas. LOTS of games and books available as well, and an absolutely ROARING fireplace!! Divine! Bathtub with a view over the forest too!! And the most comfortable beds and quality sheets.
−Believe them when they say not to open the windows in the afternoon/evening. I tried to let some fresh air into the bathroom and got a room full of insects. There are plenty of windows in the living space with fly screens you can use.

“Nurturing vibes of a place that was needed. Also off grid which was a bonus as it adds an earthiness”
+There were robes and slippers available. After staying in a couple of budget places, this was the nurturing and comfort and cosiness we needed to keep us going. There were old school board games as well which brought back memories and kept us entertained. It was like being at a spa without the spa. Seeing the stars at night was beautiful as well. We stayed in winter but I can imagine summer would be more amazing.
−There wasn't much to not like. The location is remote, but if your okay with a vehicle and driving its fine.
