A private sanctuary where the mountains meet the sea. Located on one of Lonely Planet's Top 10 Coastal Drives in the world, at photographer's and nature lover's paradise, Motukiekie Beach, half way between Greymouth and Punakaiki. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets from the deck, lounge, or even your bed. Stroll the beach, fall asleep to the murmur of the ocean, and let this tranquil, well appointed space refresh and invigorate you. Pause, unwind, treat yourself and let nature gently fill your soul in this must-do West Coast experience.
Built in 2022 to passive house principles, and furnished to the highest standard, your guest suite, while attached to our home, was designed to be completely separate and private. You have a parking space and access up a few steps to your own private deck, with entrance to your suite through a ranch slider door.
The triple glazed floor to ceiling windows provide phenomenal views if you wish to stay inside, and both opening windows have insect screens so you can enjoy the sound of the sea in peace.
Refresh yourself in the rain-head shower, then relax in one of our provided bath robes. Sleep in a comfortable Super King bed with quality linen and choice of pillows. Access Netflix and other streaming options, as well as wifi.
Welcome the new day with a complimentary sumptuous breakfast and café style coffee from the Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine. You also have a kettle, toaster, egg boiler, (eggs provided if our chickens are in lay,) microwave, kettle, and quiet mini-fridge. There are options for dining out in Greymouth, Runanga and Punakaiki.
Just at the end of the property, over the road, the beach awaits. Factor in time for exploration - this is one of the West Coast's treasures, with bountiful rock pools, sea stacks, stunning cliffs and towering hills behind - make sure you have space on your camera for photos and in your pockets for the many unique pebbles you could discover.
Your comfort and enjoyment of this space matters to us, so we have not spared cost in preparing this special haven for you. We genuinely want you to love it here, so please do let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay even better!
You have complete, private access to the whole guest suite, including the room, bathroom, deck and parking. The beach is easily accessible by walking down the driveway and crossing the road. It is well worth spending time there too!
While there are a few houses in the area, the star of the show here is NATURE! Look out to a wild beach, or behind you to towering hills. Look out for dolphins, seals, starfish and other sea creatures, as well as native birds all around. Note that we are not in a main centre - the closest shops and places to eat are 10 and 20 minutes drive away.
We offer professional couple and individual photography shoots on the beach as a special memory for people staying here. Let me know if you would like to know more about this option.
