When my husband Craig brought me here seven years ago. It just blew me away. It reminds me of the west coast in ireland. (I'm from ireland). Craig was just returning. We have three children Emma Lucy and Jack. Jack is a true West coaster he was born here.
You will not be disappointed in what you experience. Come and meet the friendly out going West Coasters.

Absolutely stunning setting, the perfect location. The bird life and the waves were all we needed to hear and that’s all we did hear. If you are looking to get away from it all then this is the place.

Loved our stay in Charleston! Was the perfect base to head to Punakaiki and Westport for day trips. The beach was right on our doorstep, and the cottage was very cute, had everything we needed. Thank you Val, Nigel and family!

Little Gem

Really lovely new cottage with lots of charm, privacy and the setting was fantastic. Great sandy long beach, we think this is probably a West Coast secret. All facilities cooking bathroom etc were great, had everything we needed to feel right at home and more.
