“Wish we had stayed longer”

Tranquil, beautiful, has EVERYTHING you need, stunning views

By far my favorite accomodation in New Zealand! Stunning scenery, loved the decor and so well equipped for a family stay despite no wifi or TV we had the best time. Definitely worth walking down to the river. We will be back!

Beautiful spot, beautiful home - highly recommend staying longer. P

“It was a beautiful home to stay in and I’ve recommended it to all of my friends. We were lucky enough even to receive so”

It was in a beautiful private location, and a charming house with lots of space for us which felt very homely and comfortable.

“Perfect off grid oasis the cottage was perfect”

Wonderful escape in this off grid oasis total relax and chill only wish we could have stayed longer !

“Awesome place to stay”

This is an idillic place to stay a bit off the grid. Great views down to the coast. The Cottage is well equipped with everything you need, feels so homely and welcoming. We did the short walk through the bush to the river for an evening swim - awesome experience. Unfortunately we only had one evening here.

“Amazing! Stay for at least a few days to make the most of this property!”

What an absolutely exceptional property if you like off-grid, eco-friendly, country vibes. The host (and her gorgeous dogs) met us with a basket full of organic eggs that we enjoyed for breakfast. You need to stay here for a number of days to enjoy its full potential. Unfortunately we were only here from 5pm until 10 am :-( Keep in mind you need to bring all your food from Greymouth to cook as this property is miles from anywhere, and once you arrive you won’t want to leave!! They do provide lots of herbs and spices and oils for cooking as well as a wide selection of teas. LOTS of games and books available as well, and an absolutely ROARING fireplace!! Divine! Bathtub with a view over the forest too!! And the most comfortable beds and quality sheets.

“Nurturing vibes of a place that was needed. Also off grid which was a bonus as it adds an earthiness”

There were robes and slippers available. After staying in a couple of budget places, this was the nurturing and comfort and cosiness we needed to keep us going. There were old school board games as well which brought back memories and kept us entertained. It was like being at a spa without the spa. Seeing the stars at night was beautiful as well. We stayed in winter but I can imagine summer would be more amazing.

“Great place to stay for Kawatiri Trail”

The cottage is perfect and has everything you need. The views are amazing. It’s like taking a step back in time and getting away from it all.

“Fantastic, will stay again”

Was a lovely and beautiful place to stay. Fantastic views of the old forest from the back of the cottage. The beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty of books to read. What a fantastic find in the Westcoast of NZ.

“See above.”

Location in bush. Very private with nice walks. Thoughtful and natural decor. Would have liked to stay a few days.

Fantastic stay experience.

“Beautiful cottage in a scenic, relaxed location”

The cottage is is a lovely house in a very quiet, beautiful location. The house contained all we required for our night stay, was beautifully decorated and was well supplied with indoor activities (board games, books, music system etc). We really enjoyed our night here and could easily have spent more time. Five of us were easily accommodated and comfortable. The house was also easy to locate off the main road (it is adequately sign-posted) and gaining entry to the house was easy. There were trails to the river which we would have explored if we had seen them in time! We would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a comfortable, relaxed night's stay out of town.

Beautiful and quiet location and an unique property. Best stocked kitchen that we have seen on our trip of the north and west of the mainland.

“Exceptional location and stay”

Idyllic location with a warm homely feeling. The hosts are great, kind and friendly. The walk to the river is perfect, with an amazing swimming location. Beaches near by which were outstanding! Horse riding down the road was a great recommendation from hosts. Games galore! Cd’s, tapes and records to keep you entertained! It was perfect in so many ways.

“I wish we had stayed longer!!”

This is a really special place. A beautiful, remote location with vistas all around, a lovely walk to the river for a swim, very comfortable home with lots of thoughtful touches. Loved it!!

“Just a gorgeous energy, view calmness and quietness to this place.”

The owners organised and let us know how to access the cottage. They were the most amazing hosts, as our eldest son became quite unwell and they allowed us extra time to stay so he could recover and allow us to continue travelling.

I loved the feel of the cottage and how it was appointed, it was a fabulous spot to relax and rejuvenate. The kitchen had everything you need. Loved it all, would stay again

“Beautiful location amongst the wilderness. The house was fully equipped, nice linen, comfortable beds and the cleanest a”

Comfortable and exceptionally clean.

“Beautiful cosy cottage in a stunning spot”

It was our second time staying at Beaconstone and we had a great stay. It's an absolutely beautiful cottage in the most special spot with stunning views in every direction. It's a really cosy house and the owners have really thought about everything you need to make the stay comfortable, including good quality cooking equipment, oils herbs etc, and we were even given some fresh eggs on arrival.
