    It was raining and we could only stay one night ;)

    The whole house is spacious, clean and well equipped. Lovely rooms and garden and a hot tub right above the beach. Would definitely stay again

    I needed to do washing but had no access to do so even tho it said washing machine available online at time of booking. Note on the machine said staff only use.

    Nice big bedrooms and comfortable bed. On the beach, so a quick hop and a step and you can enjoy a morning stroll.

    Relatively happy with the facilities.

    Out of the way, good location with beach access also hot tub if required. Well stocked kitchen comfy beds and very spacious lounge area. Would be great for large family groups. Not far from Westport if shopping required. Pub and take away not five minutes away.

    Such a beautifully restored lodge, clean comfortable, plenty of space both inside and outside. Was perfect for our family group of 12! Lovely location with the beach right at the edge of the backyard and gorgeous outdoor space to relax and enjoy the sunset!! Rooms are large, peaceful and comfortable, well equipped kitchen too! Had pretty much everything we needed.

    The lodge exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely gorgeous, the beds were super comfy, the house was incredibly clean and tidy (despite the host being on crutches!). Super friendly host and gorgeous dog. We were able to bring our dogs which is always a bonus. Super easy access to the beach. The views are amazing, definitely recommend going down to the boulders and watching the sunset on a clear evening. We will definitely be back

    Wanted to stay longer, only had one night as we had to be elsewhere next day. We really wanted to watch the ocean sunset from the hot tub.

    Fantastic building that has been superbly renovated with style and sympathetic to creating a historic conversion. Exceptional location right on the wild west ocean, gorgeous ocean views from the end of the garden and the upper balcony Friendly and helpful host whom lives in adjacent property so available if needed. Huge property, well proportioned, lots of space and even a pool table in the second lounge. For a few extra dollars they will light a hot tub with ocean views or even try the sauna. This really was a magical little find in a very special area. Could not fault it in any way.

    Could do with new pillows on the bed but that's probably because I'm used to big pillows at home.

    Loved to location and the beach view patio at the top of the garden. Simon was a great host and Guy was great at providing information and helping out. The property is very roomy and the upstairs living area is a treat! Bedrooms are large and bathrooms good. Tea/coffee, milk, Toast, cereals, etc, all provided. It is a way outside Westport so take what you need to eat for evenings with you. Had we have know the location was this good (on a great beach), we would have had more than one night. Just a great place. We also had a great not with the locals at the Lyric theatre watching an India meets Ireland fusion group. Not quite our cup of tea but non the less, great to be in with the locals. Lovely, friendly place.

    What an awesome place to stay! The live version is even better than the fotos. I've extended my stay after the 1st night, opted for day trips to Karamea and Punakaiki so I could return here in the evening. Go for a swim, a stroll on the endless beach, enjoy the sunset - just soak this place in and try to stay more than 1 night. I hope to be back some day...

    Nothing

    When you need a room on a beautiful lodge / house. The attention to detail was incredible. So if you just want a lovely night away right on the ocean, relaxing in the wood fired spa or feet up after the Old Ghost Road or Heaphy Track. Please dont pass bye this beautiful peaceful home. Simon and Guy are amazing landlords and their local knowledge invaluable. Thank you both for the best weekend...

    Can’t think of anything I didn’t like. This place is cool.

    Great beachfront location. Perfect place to watch the sunset. The house is very cool. Lots of different bedding configurations for friends & families sharing. Bring your own food to cook dinner as there are no restaurants nearby. The breakfast provided was excellent too. Love it.

    It was the perfect place to relax in the sitting room on a wet day, it was warm and toasty with the fire going. Great location beside the beach - it'll be nice to stay again, preferably when it is not raining!

    The coffee grinder could've worked better. We couldn't figure it out so we're never able to make coffee

    Great host! The lodge is very clean and the decor interesting. We heard the waves crashing all night. Simon built us a fire overlooking the ocean as the sun was setting. Magical!
