The Lilly Pad is Lily’s awesome west coast pad - This summer she's offering it to you!
This modern retreat just 1min from Hokitika, nestled between Tasman Sea and the Southern Alps. Lily’s a horse-whisperer, incredible oil-painter and kick-ass helicopter pilot. Smart, sassy, strong and the quintessential mix of West Coast wild, she has created the perfect base to park your boats, bikes and ponies while adventuring the native bush, walks, lakes and west coast beaches.
Ocean to Alps is Lily’s awesome pad - a modern, tucked-away sanctuary perfectly nestled between Tasman Sea and the Southern Alps, just one minute from central Hokitika yet surrounded by pristine native bush and incredible walking trails.
Lilly is the real deal… a horse-whisperer who speaks the language of these magnificent creatures, an oil-painting artist whose creative spirit flows from the incredible scenery she flies over and spills onto her canvases… and full time she’s a kick-ass helicopter pilot who knows every glacier, peak, and hidden valley from above. She’s smart, sassy, strong, and West Coast wild through and through.
This season, she’s opening her contemporary retreat for adventurous souls like yourself. Park your boats for days on the lake, stash your bikes for epic trail rides, bring your ponies for countryside adventures, and store all your gear while you head out to discover what makes the West Coast so legendary.
The house itself reflects Lily’s dynamic personality - modern comfort meets untamed wilderness spirit. You’re perfectly positioned to explore everything from rugged coastlines and pristine rivers to ancient rainforests and towering peaks. After days spent chasing waterfalls, cycling our wilderness trails, surfing wild beaches, or hiking through some of New Zealand’s most spectacular scenery, you’ll return to a space that understands the adventurer’s soul. Sit down with a cold beer or a hot cuppa infant of the fire, put your feet up and enjoy the fabulous company of friends and family.
With this property you’re not just getting accommodation - you’re getting insider access to the West Coast’s best-kept secrets, from the most scenic helicopter routes to hidden bush walks, secluded horse trails and those magical spots that only locals know about. She is also prepared to throw in a wee discount if you want to come fly with her.
Come experience the West Coast through the eyes of someone who embodies its wild, creative, adventurous spirit.
