Tasman Sea Retreat

Loved the location piecfull a d modern

The bed was very hard

I didn’t like that house is attached with private room and owner is living there we can hear them walking upstairs at night time even during the day time I have attached the 2 door photos that shows there is door locked from owner side of house that they are living there as well I think they didn’t not mention anything about it. For this place $350 a night not worth it when you have to hear it owner family stays in same house. The View was amazing. Cheers

Everything was so perfect with this accom had the best night sleep in ages so relaxed bed and pillows were amazing. Sitting in the hot tub watching the sunset was perfect and having a full kitchen to use was so good. Can't wait to come back again.

Roomy

Cleanliness

The view was incredible. The location was outstanding. Catch the local markets if you get the chance.

No milk and nowhere to get any.

The view was stunning, easy check in, loved the spa pool

Was quite cold when we arrived inside, no instant coffee or coffee machine (only plunger coffee and because there was no milk, that wasn’t an option to drink)

The location and view are exceptional - completely unspoilt and peaceful - not a single boat in the ocean, not a plane in the sky, not a single sign of human intervention in the landscape. Wonderful Accomodation is beautifully finished to a very high standard 10/10 no question

Perfekt und hochwertig ausgestattet, viel Platz, schöner Blick aufs Meer.

Beautiful spot!

The location is gorgeous. The owners have a house on the hill with this private 1 bedroom and kitchen with spectacular views of ocean from inside or on your private deck or a private outdoor large hottub very to use. Very modern and beautiful design. It is only suitable for a couple as there is just one King bed and the kitchen/dining room has no sofa. It is easy to comminicate with owners but they give you complete privacy and you have a separate entrance.

Minor thing, although we had a full size refrigerator it had no ice cube tray. They had told us there were no grocery stores in town so we brought food- great kitchen to make meals but could have used ice.

The view was excellent and the unit was very comfortable.

One minor comment is the frying pans are needed to be replaced.

This place was exceptional in every way. From the easy check-in to the thoughtfully decorated, comfortable space to the incredible view, I can't say enough. We really enjoyed our short time here, the full kitchen is a huge plus as it is quite a drive to restaurants, so grab some groceries and supplies in Greymouth. However, if you are looking for a quiet getaway with beautiful surroundings, a soak in a hot tub with a glass of wine, this is your place! It's a short drive to a few really nice trails for hiking, beaches too walk on and the very cool Pancake Rocks (there is a cafe here with good food, coffee and beer!) We loved every minute.

Very comfortable house with an amazing view

Maybe we've been spoiled by the other places we stayed in but was momentarily surprised by the lack of cooking oil or spray in the kitchen. With the house a good ways from any grocery, I had to improvise on what I had planned for dinner. We have several of our own rentals and have found that by stocking the kitchens wirh oil and basic spices helps our reviews. I would rather pay $5 more a night and be pleased when I arrive to find all the basic things I need

Appartamento veramente molto bello, pulito, grande e ben arredato, situato sulla West Coast a 15 minuti di auto a nord di Punakaiki, su una collina con bellissima vista sull'oceano. Bagno top, doccia veramente enorme. L'appartamento dispone di una cucina, di tutti i servizi necessari e di una grande vasca idromassaggio esterna. Proprietario preciso nel darci importanti informazioni, come ad esempio l'assenza di stazioni di benzina a Punakaiki (le più vicine sono ad almeno 45 minuti di auto di distanza.

Siamo arrivati in auto con il buio e abbiamo avuto difficoltà a trovare l'appartamento, data l'assenza di illuminazione esterna. Inoltre la mattina successiva abbiamo trovato un enorme cane lupo non legato vicino alla nostra macchina (ha anche defecato davanti alla portiera). Ci siamo spaventati e indispettiti, perché trovo inammissibile che un cane di tali dimensioni venga lasciato libero di fronte ad un appartamento con ospiti. Queste due sono le motivazioni per cui diamo 8 come voto, altrimenti sarebbe stato senza dubbio un 10.

Beautiful design, warm and cosy to see out a storm - sat in hot tub under shelter while it started to rain. Very atmospheric! Excellent facilities inside - superbly appointed.

Views from the veranda and design of the gorgeous apartment. Hot tub was lovely. Comfy towels and sheets and bed and shower. The design of the house and decoration is beautiful.

Could have used a few basic cooking items for those who will cook (butter, oil) but we appreciated the coffee and tea and milk and lovely chocolates.

Everything. This is the first time I give 10 points;) The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, located in the middle of the forest, a few steps from the sea. Quite, clean. Perfect view. You have everything you need, including heated bed.

Too short stay;)

So gorgeous. What an idyllic experience. We could have stayed for days!!!

This property is a slice of heaven. If you can possibly stay here, do. The views, the amenities - everything about it is first class.

Nothing

Uitzicht vanaf eigen terras op de oceaan.

Niets

Picturesque location, private, central to everything that we wanted and Patrick was an amazing host. Highly recommend staying here, my wife and I loved it.

Wunderschöne und toll ausgestattete Wohnung mit traumhafter Aussicht auf das Meer und den Regenwald. Sehr freundliche Besitzer… vielen lieben Dank und alles Gute

Al ben je maar 1 nacht aan de West Coast, hier wil je zitten. Prachtige locatie, ruim sfeervol appartement, van alles voorzien, goede communicatie en last but not least de hot tub!! Zo bijzonder om mee te maken.

exceptional view. Very clean. Nice hot tub.

could not find any coffee filters for the included grounds and coffee machine.

Fabulously designed property that compliments the stunning scenery, blending privacy with exposure to nature. This property forces you to stop and relax. Highly recommended to people who are always too busy and need a break or to recharge.

Leaving!!

Great location and view. Beautiful design. Spa was great.

In a property this good a king bed would have been better than a queen.

Wonderful location, first class accomodation.

Everything 👌

Nothing

The location and views were breathtaking. I loved the hot tub and the cleanliness of the property. We stayed in about 10 different hotels/motels/ bnb’s in our 2-week trip and this was by far the best. We wish we had planned for a longer stay here.

I could not find an iron and ironing board. Probably because most people don’t iron on their vacations. Unfortunately my clothes were very wrinkled from the whole trip.

The location is superb. The high quality of this accommodation is comparable to any 5*+ hotel. I would recommend to anyone that you should stay at least 2 nights. There's a lot to do and see in the area.

When we left....

Beautiful views in idyllic spot. Clean, comfortable, and perfect in every respect.

Absolutely nothing.

Luxury apartments with hot pot and everything we needed. We enjoyed it a lot.

We arrived late afternoon and enjoyed a relaxing hot tub on the patio. The view from our room was breathtaking! Everything we needed was available and the bed was very comfortable. We took a hike to Pancake Rocks and ate breakfast at the cafe. The pancakes were delicious!

Nothing-- it was all great!

An amazing location, with fantastic views. The apartment was built to maximise the view south along the coast, and was very well appointed, fastidiously clean and really well furnished.

Nothing.

view and spa

Absolutely perfect getaway for our wedding anniversary. Beautiful location, everything was amazing. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a getaway. Sheltered out of any wind, beautiful spot on the deck to sit and watch the waves

Nothing it’s perfect

Nice place, well laid out and equipped. Hot tub at sunset very nice!

Beautiful views and very comfortable

Little further out of Punakaiki than thought so you need to be very organised - sadly no milk was provided which is minor but a little annoying.

Location. Views. Peaceful. Comfortable beds.

Only property in a 5 week trip that didn’t have a welcome pack. Even a tiny bottle of milk and for the coffee canister to have been refilled would have been nice. Unfortunately on leaving the property one of us stood in a pile of dog faeces which was next to our car. Very unpleasant

Views

Noise of bath during the night. We thought we did something wrong, but seems it got no quiet position?

A beautiful and extensive property, beautifully furnished and kitted out and with views to die for.

Didn’t stay doubled booked

Didn’t stay doubled booked

Everything!!! Joe and Patrick’s emails, prior to our arrival, were exceptionally helpful. Its location is stunningly beautiful. The interior layout was perfect for the three of us. While we didn’t utilize the kitchen or hot tub, it was nice that they were available. We slept well here due to the quiet location and comfortable beds. The bathroom was wonderful, too.

Nothing!

Most everything

Cooktop is working very slowly.

Warm and cozy house, nice design, Patrick & Joe have good taste at furnitures. We actually arrive late and miss the sunset at night, however when we wake up in the morning and open the door, omg worth it! Breathtaking sea view with bird song, also the SPA pool with just perfect water temperature, what a morning!

Everything is fine. Love this property. Will stay here in the future if we visit west coast again.

Very clean and cozy, has beautiful views, the spa pool is amazing

We enjoyed everything.

We stayed here the night after we finished the Paparoa Great Walk. A short 10 minute drive along the coast from Punakaiki. Stunning views and the spa pool was just lovely. Has everything you need -but remember to bring your own food/alcohol as nothing nearby. We ate in Punakaiki and was great. A fantastic stay -thank you so much! We’ll be back for longer than one night next time.

The location and spa where great

Should have been advised that the retreat was not private as shared with property owner, bed and pillows uncomfortable, overpriced for what was offered.

Fabulous views and very comfortable for our three night stay. Great hosts.

Tea towels appeared grubby. Paper towels would be handy for spills.

Great location

The bed was too hard

A lovely spot with fabulous views, warm with comfy beds. Well appointed.

No real lounge area and no sun.

Just loved this place! Wish we could have stayed longer. The view was amazing overlooking the beach. We had two bedrooms that were tastefully decorated and the beds were super comfy. The bathroom was large and modern. The spa was heated and ready for us on arrival. The owners are on the property but you would not know they were there. Make sure you bring food as there isn't any shops close by. The owners had already communicated this so we were prepared.

Ice in the fridge would have been nice and some milk for a cuppa.

stunning location and luxurious property

you need to be prepared for its remoteness but the owners were very clear about this.

It was quiet and secluded. The hot tub was perfect after a long day’s travel. The weather was perfect and the sunset lovely.

everything. A very beautiful, clean and well-equipped property in an awesome location.

Nothing to not like

Stunning apartment with views to die for. Beautifully presented. The spa was lovely to relax in. We were lucky to have an amazing sunset.

Was a little disappointed that no milk was supplied. Would definitely of given a 10/10 if breakfast provisions were supplied.

I only wish we had stayed here longer as it is a lovely home overlooking the coast. the facilities were excellent.

everything it was amazing

everything’s

This place is paradise! Thecsunset view from the deck and spa is just magical. Everything else is tidy and comfy as well. Definktely one of the high poins of our honeymoon 😀

the views were stunning and the facilities were first class.

There was nothing that this property did not offer. spectacular stay.

Beautiful accommodation and views,

Superb location and the views over the ocean were outstanding.

The relaxed feel of the property , spa overlooking the Tasman sea and the sunset.

Nothing

We loved the location, the concept, design of the Retreat and fine detail in the construction, the vegetation and landscaping. The property had stunning views over the ocean,breaking waves and distance to the sea…quiet, cosy warm, full of light and everything we could possibly need for a few days. And of course the marvellous hot tub. Hosts were an absolutely delightful bonus. Thank you.

Amazing tranquillity, fabulous views and a comfortable space. Very well equipped.

Everything was amazing, was a perfect setup for a romanticweekend. The view and the hot tub. 🔥

Nothing. I can't think of anything I didn't like. Maybe bbq would be nice to have.

The spa was fantastic, as was the communication. A great spot to watch the sunset!
