Great base for adventures - we were here mainly to mountain bike the Pike 29 and Paparoa trails, but there's a bunch of stuff to keep you occupied in the area, plus great coffee, gin and second hand shops. Karen's place was a perfect base for a few days exploring...
Property as advertised, great location. Pretty basic hut, light powered by batteries, no mains power or running water. Take your own camping supplies. Owner changed our dates at our request. This is a great location if you want to be off the grid, the shingle road is in an excellent condition.
We really enjoyed our stay at the hut which is surrounded by native bush and next to a good sized stream. There was plenty of bird life, incuding regular visits by a couple of South Island robins and a big wood pigeon. Bell birds and Tuis often rang out nearby. Brent was a great host, friendly and accommodating. We were sad to leave, would absolutely stay again.
This truly lived up to it's name as a charming cottage backing onto the river. Black's Point is a picturesque little village nestled in a valley just outside of Reefton and we had a nice time wandering around and visiting the Museum across the road.
We visited in autumn and the heat pump quickly warmed the living areas of the house up. The bathroom remained chilly - but this is an old cottage, so that is expected. We would have loved some soft, cozy blankets to use while watching TV in the evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
