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 native flora and fauna

Unplug immersed 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 treking, 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.
Right on your doorstep, private bush walk to crystal clear summer swimming.
Your cosy cabin offers views from your bed, wood burner fire, indoor and outdoor dining, natural furnishings, peace and tranquility.
Relax at Beaconstone...serenity listening to bellbrds, tui, ghecko, frogs, fern birds, weka, fantails, morepork and maybe even kiwi......

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.

Amazing stay!

This place exceeded expectations! It is a gorgeous set up, the room is so thoughtfully put together and tidy, and surprisingly spacious! Views from the bedroom are spectacular. The kitchen is over by the ablution block which we found to be no hassle. There is an outdoor sitting area and the views/surroundings are incredible! We even took a walk through the bush, down to the river as recommended by the owners, which was just stunning. Highly recommend for a tranquil stay. Owners are very friendly. My partner and I loved staying here!

We will come back!

Exactly as presented, spotlessly clean and a wonderful place to stay. Wonderful hosts, the property was easy to find and peaceful place to sleep. Every need was met, including a surprising box full of spices, oil, and vinegars (and every type pots and pans) to cook up a storm on the bbq and whatever foods you can easily buy 15 minutes away in Westport. No problems with mozzies or sand flies at all, DEET spray does wonders. It is a pity we had to move on to the next stay quickly due to a family calendar, the area has a lot to see and hopefully we will be back soon and spend more time. Best wishes dear hosts, and please give a pat to those gentle dogs that kept checking we were OK while the bbq was cooking :)

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!

In the bush

Pretty much just as described. I was a bit disappointed that the trail to the stream sounded a little too rough to navigate. I guess there was a rainfall a few days earlier and she recommended not doing it. I was hoping for more of a view from the mountain hut but you did have a near view of the bush. The manager/owner was very informative and present. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom and shower was clean and functional and only about 20 yards away.

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.

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)!
