About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cabbage Tree Cottage - Beautiful home, stunning location. Pet-friendly.

A two storey 'woodsy' beachfront home on an elevated site from which views of the Coast, Nikau and Rata forest can be enjoyed in the open plan living/kitchen area. The balcony puts you right amongst the natural scenery as does the courtyard with its open fire place for outdoor leisure.

Our one-thousand acre property is set in surroundings where Aotearoa is as it used to belush, unspoiled and natural. A slice of paradise. Gentle Annie is an ideal place to get off the beaten track to experience New Zealand's untamed wilderness and truly appreciate the South Islands West Coast. Bounded by the Tasman Sea, the mighty Mokihinui River and beautiful ancient bush, our seaside accommodation is a peaceful place to relax and enjoy time away from the busy life and provides a great base to explore our stunning region.

Centrally located in the Northern West Coast, Gentle Annie is near places of interest where day trips will get you north to the magnificent Oparara Limestone Arches, the Kahurangi National Park, the Heaphy Track and south to the Chasm Creek and Charming Creek Walkways, Punakaiki Pancake Rocks, the Denniston Plateau and the Cape Foulwind Seal Colony. We are on the doorstep of the new Old Ghost Road mountain-biking track in Seddonville!

In any season, enjoy time at Gentle Annie. It will nourish your soul and awaken your senses.

Special conditions: Linen is available for hire at $20 per bed per stay - please request when booking.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a sofa bed.

No info regarding towels and bedding

Disappointed to find no bedding and towels, read through the listing again and still no info regarding these. May need to be more clear in your listing. Having come from the uk we did not have any ,so was very surprise not to have any at the cottage.Otherwise a pleasant stay and would return with towels and bedding. Cheers.

A place we had never been before.

It’s in a beautiful location. Sea views and abundant native bird life. We also hired a hot tub for the time we were there, brilliant idea. Had a fish at the Mokihinui river mouth, caught a Kawai. We went exploring as far up as Karamea, everywhere we went we were greeted by the most friendliest of people.

Peaceful, seaside cottage

Peaceful cottage in a great location with lots of bush walks nearby. Living area upstairs is very cosy with a gas fire and lovely outlook. Had a great long weekend break and would definitely visit again. Bring all the gear you need as kitchen equipment is just the basics and no games, books etc.

Apart from getting confused about which property we were in and not being able to get hold of anyone, once sorted, this was an absolutely beautiful part of the West Coast I can see myself going back to again in the near future. Stunning views and great property to stay in. Thanks

Wild West Coast Getaway

Cool private remote location with the constant low roar of the waves..Recommended ! Great stones on the beach . Cowshed cafe over at the camping ground 1k down the road is very cute. Note Charming Creek Walkway is closed at its most impressive end due to a large rockslide..see DOC website. (As per previous reviews the bathroom door needs fixing . Note the TV is very small and freeview only and signal is lost in bad weather. But most people are not there for the TV of course!)

A piece of private paradise

We had a wonderful time over the weekend, booked for 2 nights and took our dog who loved it. Kitchen had all the utensils we needed as he is a chef. The gas fire was fabulous and the views breath taking. We had the beach to ourselves where we made a fire and watched the sunset. We will be back for sure.

Good escape from the city

We had a good time in the house but a couple of things could be better : - we payed for linen but nothing was there when we arrive. Then the management brought a box full of linen and we had to make the beds ourselves. - on the home away app, it was specified that the house was provided with internet which was not the case at all... it was quite annoying for us as we planned to have internet... we were then told that internet was available at the reception (5mn drive from the house)... but when we tried there, the network was not working... - we found the house to be quite charming but we really think that a few amenities outside on the terrace or outdoor in the small garden could be great... like a few chairs or table... the only one that is outside is very old and just supporting the barbecue. - we think that the sofa could be washed as it’s not really appealing right now, especially for the one who is sleeping in. But overall the location is nice and the proximity with the beach is enjoyable.

Rimu House

We loved the remoteness of the property. The views were spectacular of the sea. Lots of firewood to keep us warm. Would have liked some condements, e.g. tea, coffee, sugar, baking or cooking needs e.g. flour, salt/pepper, oil. You can't pop out to a shop if you forget to pack an item. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

Brilliant place to stay

We had a great time staying there. It was clean and tidy with everything one would want in a place to stay. The location was ideal - within a minute's walk to the beach. The gas heating and cooking made a real difference, the place was warm throughout our stay. We managed to catch a Kahawhai at the river mouth within 15mins of arriving - that was the perfect start to our break. We will definitely stay again.
