Built in 2022 to passive house principles, and furnished to the highest standard, your guest suite, while attached to our home, was designed to be completely separate and private with the most incredible view! Like a personal hotel where you are the only guests!
You have a parking space and access up a few steps to your own private deck, with entrance to your suite through a ranch slider door.
The triple glazed floor to ceiling windows provide phenomenal views if you wish to stay inside, and the windows and door all have insect screens so you can enjoy the sound of the sea without the bother of bugs. Our heat pump / air conditioner will keep you warm or cool to your preference if you prefer the windows and door closed.
Refresh yourself in the rain-head shower, then relax in one of our provided bath robes. Sleep in a comfortable Super King bed with quality linen and choice of pillows. Access Netflix and other streaming options, as well as wifi.
Just at the end of the property, over the road, the beach awaits. Factor in time for exploration - this is one of the West Coast's treasures, with bountiful rock pools, sea stacks, stunning cliffs and towering hills behind - make sure you have space on your camera for photos and in your pockets for the many unique pebbles you could discover.
Your comfort and enjoyment of this space matters to us, so we have not spared cost in preparing this special haven for you. We genuinely want you to love it here, so please do let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay even better.
So many previous guests tell us they wish they had stayed for longer. Do yourself a favour and book at least two nights so you can unwind and relax properly in this wild, seaside paradise!
You have complete, private access to the whole guest suite, including the room, bathroom, deck and parking. The beach is easily accessible by walking down the driveway or through the garden, then crossing the road. It is well worth spending time there too!
Our parking area is not suitable for large camper vans, thank you.
We offer professional photography shoots on the beach as a special memory for people staying here, as well as elopements! Let me know if you would like to know more about these options.

"A real slice of paradise, this "view with a room". Definitely living up to its name. Shirley has created a true sanctuary to enjoy the best of what the West Coast has to offer. We were fortunate to have sunny days and starry nights to make the most of our stay here. And the attention to detail in this studio apartment has been impeccable. Looking forward to returning to NZ and your pad some day soon."
K&S, Singapore, April 2024
"What an absolute gem of a find! ... From the lush linens through to thoughtful snacks, breakfast goodies and Nespresso. You had me at quality coffee.
The view is next level, a moving picture and the sunset - I literally couldn't stop taking photos. You don't realise how quiet the room is till you open the door and hear the roar of the ocean. ...You may arrive tired and frazzled but you'll leave feeling rested, nurtured, restored."
