Rustic Mokau Escape with Ocean Views & Sauna

You won’t find a better spot to watch the sunset over the Tasman Sea, with sweeping views of Mt Taranaki and the Mokau River. Unwind in the wood-fired sauna, take the hill track up to the lookout, and soak up the relaxed charm of the West Coast.
The space
Perched high above Mokau village on the wild west coast of New Zealand’s North Island, this off-grid cabin offers panoramic views over the Mokau River and the Tasman Sea. Designed as an open-plan retreat, the kitchen, dining, lounge and sleeping space share one cosy room — creating a simple, relaxed space that keeps you close to nature.

Soak in the scenery from every angle, then fire up the wood-fired sauna for a truly relaxing end to the day. This is a place to disconnect from the busy world and slip into a slower rhythm — whether you're walking the hilltop trail, exploring the rugged coastline, or just kicking back on the deck with a view that stretches forever.
Guest access
The concrete driveway up to the property is quite steep, so confident drivers are recommended. Please note that caravans, campervans, and boats are not permitted.

The cabins on the hill and the spa is off limits but the rest of the property is all yours

- A wood-fired sauna set in the native bush

- There are small tracks around the property but the best, most spectacular view is accessed by the track behind the Cabin to the top of the hill with unmatched views!

- Outdoor seating to take in the views or sunset

- Feel free to uncover and use the bbq if the weather permits!

- Please see the Map of the property in the Guide
Other things to note
The property runs on solar power and rainwater — please use both with care.

Compost toilet only — no food or waste in the system.

- Diesel for the heaters may need topping up if used heavily (instructions provided).

- The sauna is ready to go and well worth it — firewood and clear instructions included.

Thanks for Staying!

Embrace the elements, enjoy the views, and get a feel for West Coast living. Message us anytime if you need anything.

An awesome place! We loved absolutely everything about it. Exactly as described. The view is to die for, it's private, kitchen really well equipped, amazing sound system, comfy bed and the sauna such a treat. Very highly recommended if you want to get away from everything and recharge your batteries in a beautiful little town. Thanks to our awesome hosts who was so helpful. We love your vision brought to life!
