Sea views and sunsets

Miro cottage nestled on the edge of our terrace, perfectly located between the Punakaiki Lagoon and the Pancake Rocks. We have used salvaged Rimu and Miro paneling interior to create a warm and cozy space, the outside bathtub is a great way to relax and unwind after a long journey or finishing the Paparoa Track.
Large bifold doors open out to the deck to stunning sea views, or watch the waves roll in from your King sized bed. Our studio cottage is a great place to come back after exploring the area or to finish up after walking or biking the Paparoa Track.
The cottage does not have a kitchen but has a fridge and toaster etc for breakfast of a light meal. The cottage also features a large indoor shower.

Stunning view & great bed

Wonderful! Kind and responsive hosts. Surrounded by gorgeousness. And they helped set me up to cook my own food… like many other places it was an adventure cooking and washing dishes outside under the roof overhang. It worked out beautifully.

Awesome spot for unwinding

The sun-soaked deck overlooking the ocean was just what the doctor ordered. Such a perfect little place for some downtime. Well equipped, super comfortable, lovely hot shower and the bath under the stars was the icing on the cake. Loved it!
