    Comfortable, with a great view

    Found this to be a really warm, modern place to stay. Located up on the treeline, the views are fantastic, and even better when the sun sets. Hot tub was warm on arrival and a very welcome way to enjoy the evening.

    A place to breathe

    We had a wonderful few days in Karamea. The view is stunning especially the West Coast sunsets. Weather was perfect. The accomodation was A. They thought of everything and supplied so much. The hot tub was a real bonus. Couldn’t fault a thing about the place. Could have stayed longer as it was so peaceful.

    An Oasis

    This property was absolutely stunning - a recent build - Joanne and Steve have created a paradise in Karamea at the end of the road (literally). I just wished we had stayed longer here and had more time to enjoy the house which had been thoughtfully planned and decorated throughout and was really just amazing. It was a great end to our trip up the West Coast of the South Island and one day I plan to bring my wife back here!
