About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Home with stunning River and Ocean views. Pet-friendly
The Riverview Home is on an elevated natural site overlooking the Mokihinui River and Buller Bay coastline with a picturesque backdrop of subtropical native forest. The house offers a well equipped kitchen with a large central living area, comfortably furnished. A wood-fire place provides warmth and atmosphere. The beach and river can be reached by foot within 5 minutes. When used in conjunction with the nearby Rata Lodge it is an ideal venue for group gatherings such as family occasions, corporate retreats, or other events.
Our one-thousand acre property is set in surroundings where Aotearoa is as it used to be lush, 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 Island\u2019s 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
