Treetop beach studio on cycle trail. Free fibre. Spring rates.

A treetop experience! Set in a beautifully landscaped west coast bush garden. Great fibre and free wifi for streaming. Newly carpeted two storeyed cottage. Perfect for couples or singles and especially cyclists. It is not suitable for elderly, or mobility challenged guests. Access to the upstairs is via a short flight of steep stairs. It also has a typical loft ceiling in the sleeping space, not ideal for tall people. There is undercover cycle storage in the huge carport, a new bathroom/laundry with washer and drier and a shared ground floor storage room with electric drying racks, a steam press and small vertical freezer.
Upstairs is an airy studio loft style space. It sleeps 3 with one double bed and 1 single. A brand new kitchen with double induction hob, microwave, slow cooker, and wok, Or eat out at the great cafe across the street. Seaview glimpses from upstairs. Underbench fridge with access to freezer downstairs. DVD library with portable player. Fern Arch cottage shares its location with Kupe Cottage which sleeps 3. If your group is largeish, just book both cottages. Both cottages are just two minutes walk from beautiful Carters Beach (see photos), and the new Kawatiri Coastal walking and biking trail. Carters Beach is 5 mins drive from downtown Westport and 2 mins from the airport and golf links,

NO CAMPERVANS PLEASE. USE OF THE COTTAGE AND THE SERVICES IT OFFERS E.G. SHOWERS, LINEN WIFI. TOILET ARE LIMITED TO THE GUESTS REGISTERED ON THE BOOKING.

The cleaning fee is a one time charge not a nightly charge. So the longer you stay the cheaper your nightly rate. It covers the cost of laundering your bed bath and kitchen linen, cleaning the equivalent of a small house, and the cost of cleaning products and appliances used.

Charging your electric car using our power is not permitted. It is a safety and insurance issue for us. Chargers are available at both supermarkets.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

My second time here,this little place is a gem. Clean, everything needed for a stay at Carters Beach. So close to everything, walks, biking. Also homely if you just want to chill in the garden . I was travelling alone, felt totally safe in this place. I guess someone tall might struggle with the ceiling height, but thats not an issue for me . 10/10

What a neat place

It was really nice to walk in and fine a cosy home for our 2 nights stay. Well equipped kitchen and everything was well arranged / thoughtful touches. So close to the beach and the coffee shop - there was so much to do and see - eg the seal colonies. We’ll stay again. Thanks

Quirky, but comfortable.

Very comfortable. Had everything I needed. Great location. Do read the fine print - (very) low ceiling in lounge/bedroom - and the stairs would be challenging if you are not particularly mobile. However, I would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Pretty perfect!

The short steep stair access and low ceilings are certainly real but we (80 and 73) managed just fine. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the location, spaciousness and kitchen outfitting were great...which made for a very nice 3 night stay--much of which was wet and cold! Thank you

Very unique property, not keen on the stairs, difficult to get luggage up to the living area but we coped with leaving it downstairs, no others using the shared space so felt safe enough. Bed comfortable and warm. Electronic Cooktop did not work but there was an older version which did work very well and sufficed for our needs. Beautiful stay for an economical rate. Thank you so much! We loved it :)

Seaside Coast

Exactly as advertised. The stairs were a great challenge for the hip replacement, I came away with a good functioning hip. Learnt to ride my bike again. Enjoyed the bike trail plus the wee restaurant on the corner. The low ceiling caused the 6 footer a few adverse reactions but he got used to it, All in all a great holiday.

Good location, poor layout

I thought this property would be quirky but it was just shoddy. The stairs felt unsafe, it had a hemmed in feeling and was really stuffy with no nice windows to look out. The furnishings were really ugly and tatty. I wouldn't recommend this as a place to stay with children under 5 or if you are taller than 165cm. The location is good and it was clean. The cafe around the corner is a greta place to eat.
