About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Off grid holiday, immersed in nature

Unplug in the wild West Coast...just 1 km off SH6 but in a quiet location with handy access to the Pancake rocks, Kawatiri coastal trail, Seal colony, rain forest train, beach horse trekking, caving and rafting adventures.
Set on native forest between Abel Tasman and the Glaciers with unobstructed vistas over the Totara valley and Paparoa National Park. On your doorstep, private access to summer swimming in the crystal clear Totara River.
Your cosy cabin offers views from your pillow, wood burner fire, indoor and outdoor dining, natural furnishings and linens, peace and tranquility.
Relax at Beaconstone...serenity listening to bellbrds, tui, ghecko, frogs, fern birds, weka, fantails, morepork and maybe even the local kiwi......

Super well stocked off grid cabin, overlooking a valley. Hammocks and bbq on deck with lots of cooking supplies. Cabin is beautifully decorated with books and games. Trails down to the river and a beautiful look out spot! Sunset - gorgeous! Really loved it! Host warm and friendly and has a home close by. One of my favorite stays on the South Island!

Amazing off grid but comfortable stay

A very well made and looked after cabin in the middle of the bush, with everything you need! We had a very comfortable stay and loved the bushwalk down to the river. Very friendly hosts and sweet doggies too! We’ll definitely come back (and will bring more mozzie/sandfly repellent!)

A+ natural balance ... 🌿 🌅

A great combination of privacy, off-grid, cosy, and in nature on one hand, and ... all the facilities you need, and host advice and connection if you want / need that on the other. Quiet, peaceful, restorative, while all being very accessible! Highly recommended (and I'm looking forward to getting back again)!

Safe Haven in the bush

A beautiful property created and cared for with love and commitment to health and the environment . Make sure to arrive early enough to enjoy a bush walk to the river. Exceptional wood features in the accommodation … a lot to look at and appreciate.

Totally awesome place would go back in a heart beat we had a great time as there is plenty to do in that area. Just one thing, take plenty of mosquito repellent as you will need it. However apart from that this place has everything you will ever need so we would highly recommend a stay their.

Sweet chill-out spot on the West Coast

Had a great stay and ended up adding 3 nights to our booking. Hosts are great - relaxed and welcoming. Swimming hole close by and really well positioned to explore the Charleston - Westport area coastline, rivers and hills. So much to do in this area in the outdoors and the weather was mint as it often is on the coast. The cabin is a lovely simple space - slept heaps :-) We will be back for sure.

Different but the situation and view are very attractive,. We were lucky with the weather. In really adverse weather, the outside cooking could be an issue.
