    Stunning location and a fabulous wee tiny cabin. Genuinely exceptional. Waking up to dawn over the cliffs just a hop skip and a jump from the cabin door. Warm and cozy with the wood stove. Everything inside was in top condition and spotlessly...

    Where does one start? Nestled into a little hill on the cliff is a superb hut that overlooks the cove and both protects you and immerses you in the natural environment of Cape Foulwind. Simply stunning ‼️‼️

    Staying here was a great experience. The cabin is small but comfortable and the option of little wood fire or convenient electric fin heater is great. The highlight though is the position right next door to the lighthouse reserve and with the...

Welcome to your dream getaway! Nestled on a majestic clifftop with breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Tasman Sea and rugged cliffs, our stand alone cabin offers an enchanting escape from the everyday hustle. Imagine waking up to the soothing sound of waves crashing against the rocks and being greeted by spectacular sun rises and ocean vistas. Our charming studio cabin is a labour of love, beautifully hand-crafted with wood floors and walls that exude warmth and rustic elegance. Each item within has been thoughtfully chosen to add character and soul, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're curling up with a good book by the fire or enjoying a restful night's sleep, you'll feel right at home in this serene retreat. The cabin is eco-friendly, boasting its own power and water supply, and ensuring that you can relax in comfort while knowing you're minimizing your environmental footprint. The ensuite bathroom provides all the essentials, ensuring your stay is as convenient as it is comfortable. With direct beach access, famous walkways and cycle trail right at the gate, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with nature and rejuvenate.
Rachael and Ron love the rugged beauty of the West Coast of New Zealand. So much so that they have made the investment to move there in 2023 and build a new home on a stunning clifftop location. Rachael has always had a desire to become a host and so we decided to offer up our character cabin for short term accommodation. We lived in the cabin for a year whilst building and made it a little home full of soul, and a special retreat. Rachael is also a celebrant who is passionate about ceremony and ritual. Not only does she perform weddings, funerals and baby naming ceremonies, but she also offers Cacao Ceremonies, seasonal ceremonies and more.. Ron work in IT and has his own website development and management business, as well as working for a local game development company.
There are a number of outdoor adventures awaiting you right outside you doorstep. There is beach access which lets you explore sandy shores and cool waters. The famouse Lighthouse and Seal Colony walk start outside the property and offer breathtaking views and wildlife encounters. The Kawatiri Cycle Trail is also accessed from outside your doorstep provides a scenic walking and cycling adventure through diverse landscapes. Surf enthusiasts will love Tauranga Bay, just minutes drive away. It is a well known prime surfing spot. Although you are immersed in nature, the town of Westport is only 15 minutes drive away. There you wil be able to get groceries, do some shopping and sight seeing.
