Seaside Coast

Exactly as advertised. The stairs were a great challenge for the hip replacement, I came away with a good functioning hip. Learnt to ride my bike again. Enjoyed the bike trail plus the wee restaurant on the corner. The low ceiling caused the 6 footer a few adverse reactions but he got used to it, All in all a great holiday.

Great location. Quirky place with really comfortable beds. Head banging with the low ceiling. Fun though.

About the host

Hosted by gay sweeney

I have worked around the world as a broadcaster and public relations practitioner. But back in 2000 I discovered the northern westcoast region of Buller. I fell in love with it. I have in lived in several parts of this beautiful area. I have always loved Carters Beach and have only recently purchased this 2-cottage property which now allows me to share this stunning area with you.

Why they chose this property

It offers a beachfront location with a sheltered west coast bush feel to it with stunning black mamaku pungas, nikau palms and kauri on the section. It is close to great food, a friendly community and is in the middle of an amazing selection of activities from cycling of all levels, to golf, fishing both salt and freshwater, and Westport's shops and cafes. It is also minutes from Westport airport.

What makes this property unique

The airiness of this loft style cottage along with its replica bed, heritage windows and its lookout to sea is romantic, private and quirky. There's nothing concrete block about this place. Not great for extra tall people though.
