Off the beaten track!

We wanted to stay somewhere comfortable and scenic but well off the beaten track, and this was it. Our host gave us a friendly welcome. We explored the local area on walking tracks, and in our vehicle; so we really had an enjoyable time.

Fantastic place

The seclusion of Westhaven is part of the attraction. With dramatic scenery on the west coast and the comfort of the cottage, I would highly recommend this place to stay to anyone wanting an escape from busy city life . The optional dinner at the lodge is fantastic and the hosts are great!

Absolutely spectacular

One of the hidden gems of Aotearoa - this slice of paradise is utterly unheralded. 360 degree beauty surrounds all your senses with abundant birdsong, sheer limestone cliffs, untouched west coast beaches and nikau palms to die for. The ebb and flow of the Whanganui inlet, its spectacular sunrises and sunsets become the rhythm of your life. We stayed 4 days in this private paradise and will definitely be back to the jewel of the Kahurangi. One of the most spectacular places in New Zealand.

Once a lifetime

WOW! if you are wanting to experience a stunning part of NZ that is literally untouched this is the place for you. The cottage itself is close to the lodge and is located on a working farm, run by a passionate family of three generations. The private land to explore is expansive with many beautiful walks and untouched beaches to discover, if you are thinking this is remote, it is, but well worth the trip, even the drive there is something special, this is a slice of NZ that many people simply won't get the opportunity to experience, so if you are undecided about weather to make the effort, don't be, it will be worth it and you will be glad you made the decesion to experience a slice of paradise.

Amazing location

We had a fantastic 3 days at the Westhaven Retreat cottage. The property has a variety of walks each with different scenery and all well worth doing. Monika and the team were great. The meal we had delivered to the cottage was excellent. This was a unique holiday and well worth the trip.

Some of the most spectacular, un spoilt countryside you could be pillaged to experience. A must for anyone who wants to see the beauty of the west coast, be prepared to do a little walking to see the best of it. Thanks to some amazing hosts who allowed us to share their paradise in NZ.

If you're after a special experience lost in nature, magnificent environment, peace and tranquillity, this is basically the ultimate. It can't go any better, topped up by friendliest hosts. Monika and her family are the kindest people, and have made our stay very special.

Majestic

The retreat setting was unlike most people will ever experience, in a lifetime. To describe this setting as majestic, magical and heaven on earth, would be an understatement. I feel privileged and honored to spend the holidays at Westhaven Retreat.

This is worth more than 5 stars. Stunning location and wonderful hosts nearby.

The cottage is dated but perfectly fine, but you don’t come here for the amenities, it’s the location, which is truely stunning. Located right next door to the Westhaven Luxury Resort - to find your way to the cottage, head to the resort and go to the reception - there are kms of tracks to wander over all around with only sheep and cows for company. Food, if you take the dining option, is delicious. Highly recommended
