About this property

Off grid, immersed in nature

Unplug in the wild West Coast...just 1 km off SH6 yet immersed in nature with handy access to the Pancake rocks, Kawatiri coastal trail, Seal colony, Rain forest train, Horse trekking, Caving and rafting underworld adventures.
Set on native forest between Abel Tasman and the Glaciers with unobstructed vistas over the Totara valley and Paparoa National Park. On your doorstep, private access to summer swimming in the crystal clear Totara River.
Your cosy cabin offers views from your pillow, wood burner fire, indoor and outdoor dining, natural furnishings and linens, peace and tranquility.
Relax at Beaconstone...serenity listening to bellbrds, tui, ghecko, frogs, fern birds, weka, fantails, morepork and maybe even the local kiwi......

We had an amazing. Liane was a great host, kind, friendly and welcoming. The location is amazing and the photos do not do it justice - mountain and forest views out the window, and the hut is larger than we expected with beautiful timber.

Our host was great, good email comunication with lots of information and a friendly in person welcome. The wee hut was lovely, very well equipped for such a small space with lots of attention to detail. the raised bed with mountain views was a very nice touch, with good solid steps to climb up and down.

The cabin is thoughtfully layed out and beautifully presented. The kitchen is well equipped including a small fridge, oven, and stovetop.The raised bed was a highlight - I enjoyed falling asleep while watching the stars and waking to the sound of birdsong.Another highlight was the river swimming. The track down to the river is a little rough, but the 10 minute walk was well worth it.The host was friendly and available, but not intrusive and facilities were clean and functional.There is plenty to do in the area and I particularly enjoyed the Nile River walk and the Cape Foulwind walkway.I would recommend this accomodation as a great choice for either a relaxing solo getaway or a romantic couple's retreat.

Amazing off grid but comfortable stay

A very well made and looked after cabin in the middle of the bush, with everything you need! We had a very comfortable stay and loved the bushwalk down to the river. Very friendly hosts and sweet doggies too! We’ll definitely come back (and will bring more mozzie/sandfly repellent!)

Super well stocked off grid cabin, overlooking a valley. Hammocks and bbq on deck with lots of cooking supplies. Cabin is beautifully decorated with books and games. Trails down to the river and a beautiful look out spot! Sunset - gorgeous! Really loved it! Host warm and friendly and has a home close by. One of my favorite stays on the South Island!
