We stayed with our family in the 2 bedroom villa, when my brother come back to NZ for a holiday. The house is modern, comfortable, and is the most well set up holiday house I've ever experienced. It has an outdoor spa, fire-pit for roasting marshmallows, and even a petanque/boules game area. If it rains (which it did for most... More

I booked Beach Hideaway for 2 nights to destress from the hectic european life. It had everything that I could ask for: Warm and cosy privat home, great bed, quietness, TV with all Sky channels, Ipod, hot tub, fully equipped kitchen and a beautifull deck to sit on (dry) and watch the rain. There is no need to step out,... More

We stayed here for one night as a logical stopover place between Fox Glacier and the Nelson area. The bed was exceptionally comfortable (our standards - we like a softer pillow-top). No night noises at all, very quiet. There was a lovely veranda that you could sit outside and enjoy the peace and serenity. Bugs were not a problem when... More

Great people to deal with and nothing was a problem. Amazing location but bring both ya camera and bug spray. They made a huge effort making sure there was no bugs in the unit and could not fault the set up. Great spot for a beach walk and sunset photo's. Thanks for having us! More

I booked Beach hideaway more as a stop-over on our trip from Fox glacier to Punakaiki. I really wish we had spent more time at the cottage.

We stayed just the 1 night at Beach Hideaway after having to make last minute changes to our holiday plans due to flooding in Golden Bay where we were supposed to be staying. Soon after unpacking...

The bush is amazing, two really pretty villas, really clean - we stayed in two bedroom, was great, sky tv all channels and so modern - I pod, flat screen Tv's and kids loved the DVD/TV Player in their room. HOT TUB - SOOO nice. Yummy toasted mashmallows. Thanks we will be back ! More

Hands-down, nicest cottage we have ever stayed in. We didn't wanna leave. It looked brand new! It was beautiful and modern and rustic and everything you could want. It was so private and well-maintained. The grill was perfect and we utilized it every second we could. We had an amazing walk to the beach after dinner. And! I almost forgot... More

Couldn't fault anything. It would have to be one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in. More
