Okari Cottage

Beautiful views and location

The property is definitely remote so if you want that this is great.

Really comfortable and clean and well stocked The view was amazing

Location .pieceful. private

The smoke alarm kept going off. And there was no smoke .Just the heat pump

The setting was perfect! All the little touches made this our favorite stay in 3+ weeks in NZ. Quiet, peaceful with ocean views we’re still dreaming about.

Everything you could want in one compact slice of paradise overlooking the ocean. Great breakfast provided, comfy bed, high pressure shower, nice kitchen and comfy couch on deck overlooking the sea and setting sun. Situated halfway on Kawatiri Cycle Trail - perfect for experiencing the trail at leisure.

Op een zeer rustige locatie een fantastisch verblijf. Vriendelijke ontvangst. Een groot terras rond het verblijf zodat je als je wilt, altijd in de zon of juist schaduw kunt zitten en voorzien van een relaxte bank en stoelen met kussens. Meer dan complete inventaris. Heerlijk om het geluid van de zee dag en nacht te horen.

Lovely cosy cottage, clean and with incredible views. We wished we’d stayed longer than just one night. Felt like the kind of place one could stay for a month to write a novel! Jude was an excellent and responsive host. Perfect place to stay for a couple on a West Coast NZ self drive road trip.

Great location to bike the Kawatiri Coastal Trail without having to arrange transport. Approx 40km ride return to Charleston and back to the cottage and the second day go the other direction towards Westport. The track is over the road from the cottage. Sunsets amazing:) Jude provided breakfast items, cereal, eggs, plunger coffee, bread and jams etc. Room was clean and had a great view to the ocean. Outdoor furniture and private area to enjoy your stay.

L'emplacement est somptueux. La maison était très propre et très bien entretenue. Suffisament équipée pour nous. Ouverture porte ou fenêtre des 4 côtés. Joli jardin. Vue magnifique quelque soit le temps. Vraiment un must parmi nos locations en NZ.

Tout était parfait !

Stunning views, great location and lovely accommodations

Nothing!

Zum ersten war es sehr gut ausgeschildert. Die Begrüssungsmappe hat einen wirklich abgeholt und einem das Gefühl gegeben willkommen zu sein. Und die Aussicht ist einfach unbezahlbar :-)))))

Eine unglaublich schöne Aussicht, sehr privat und ein sehr gemütliches Cottage. Wir haben es bedauert, dass wir nur eine Nacht eingeplant hatten.

The view from outside and inside every part of the house, privacy, gorgeous breakfast selection in the fridge.

Nothing. We wanted to stay forever.

Good for stargazing.

Lovely location, so nice to wake up to view of the beach was beautiful even on a stormy rainy day . Private, had well stocked kitchen. Lovely little extras like the treats in the kitchen. Very comfortable bed. Added bonus of Netflix on a stormy day was great. Will definitely be returning at a later date.

Cozy with all facilities needed for a short stay.

Amazing location. Very nice accommodations. Would definitely stay again.

What a privilege it was to stay in this fabulous cottage. The view is simply breathtaking, so much better than can be portrayed in the photos. Everything was light, airy and clean, tasteful colours and decor, with a brilliant kitchen stocked with thoughtful extras such as condiments, coffee, extra milk and home made musleii. SIpping a drink on the balcony and watching the sun set into the ocean was unforgettable. The bed was super comfortable with a view over the beautiful gardens, and even the bathroom looks out over the ocean. You are miles from care in this secluded spot in a pristine, natural part of the wild and stunning Cape Foulwind. Jude is a fabulous host and she has really created something special here.

Amazing place to stay! Tidy, comfortable, well appointed and excellent views

Not one thing

The view is incredible! We loved it!

Stunning view 😍 Everything you needed. Lovely stay.

Loved everything here and could’ve stayed for days

Amazing views of the coast. Perfect amenities including bathroom with great shower pressure and well-stocked kitchen that included breakfast. Cold night but well heated indoors from the elements.

Cottage was well equipped and clean

The house had a magnificent view of the sea.It was small, but had everything we needed. The owner was friendly and gave us several good tips for sightseeing in the area.

Beautiful modern cottage with lots of lovely extras and a gorgeous view. Total recommend and look forward to coming back to stay

It was everything I wanted it to be: by the sea, cottage, superb views, just me!!!

Nothing - it was utterly me living my dream

Cottage was perfect size , location was stunning

Loved it all

Perfect location with awesome views, almost directly at the beach. Good breakfast with honey, jam and peanut butter.

Nothing to complain about!

Location, cleanliness, amazingly stocked with everything that Antoine could possibly need.

There is nothing to complain about, absolutely nothing.

Honestly one of the best places we stayed in NZ. Secluded, with spectacular ocean views, lovely interior, great terrace and all you need for a couple of days. The place is (far) away from everything but easily accessible by car. There is a walkway right out front along the beach and a seal colony nearby (you can walk there). Sunset is amazing (given good weather). If ypu are in doubt, don't be and go here!

It was great!

Although a 20 min drive to Westport just means you have to be organised. Super position over looking the sea from the outside sofa, can get breezy ( it’s all in a name ) very comfortably bed and small sofa inside, breakfast bar as well as a table and bbq under the veranda to the side. Easy to find clear signage by the road and on the drive. We stayed 2 nights and pleased we had the time to explore this coast.

It was all good

Just stunning! Wonderful location looking out to the ocean.

Amazing sunset views over the ocean. Great host.

Beautiful location, wonderful cottage, cosy and comfort. Highly recommended!

One small detail for light sleepers, the glass door has no blinds so it remains and turns light in your room during sunset and dawn

This is a lovely place to stay with a breathtaking view. It's very modern with all new appliances. Access to clothes washing is available.

Gorgeous location. Very clean and well stocked. Great attention to detail

Limited options for dining. One of the local restaurants had pretty much of food by 8 pm. Recommend you bring your own food to prepare. There’s a bbq grill and good cooking equipment

Excellent location, perfectly equipped with a very nice kitchen and some thoughtful breakfast nibs! The view alone is to die for but on top of that it is a very cozy cottage and Westport is only 20 mins away.

Bed comfortable, view lovely, breakfast yummy.

Only negative was not able to get the TV to work despite following the instructions

Second stay here. A real gem. Very clean & organized. Fantastic view.

Amazing views. Lots of thoughtful touches. Brilliant location.

The weather could have been better lol

It was perfect for us.

The owner provided breakfast options of bread, butter and condiments. Also muesli and coffee/ tea such a nice touch.

The Okari Cottage is remote, but perfectly located, overlooking the beach and affording a wonderful sunset view. Quiet & peaceful. Small, but well-supplied with kitchen provisions and quality breakfast goodies.

Would have loved to meet our hostess, Jude, but she was busy elsewhere. We were blessed by sunny skies; perhaps not so good in foul weather.

Completely private, topped off with a lovely breakfast.

Nothing

Everything was great, even better than expected. Amazing views.

A peaceful scenic place to stay, loved it.

This is the cutest cottage with stunning views of the sea. I woke up to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. Comfortable bed and cool little kitchen with all the amenities you can think of. Clear instructions for all appliances and suggestions on what to do and where to eat. Great decor.

Absolutely nothing. It was perfect.

Peaceful, quiet with amazing views from every window .. Host was helpful and went out of her way to make stay a perfect retreat

Nothing.. loved it all

Location, view and privacy

Nothing it was perfect

a good self service breakfast, with amazing views of the beach. A large stock of tourist information about the area an hospitable host, wekas in the garden!.

nothing

A lovely cottage, private and secluded. A fantastic location with an amazing view.

Ocean views and privacy

No internet for tv

Incredible views, very comfortable little cottage.

No flyscreens means you can't leave the windows open to hear the ocean (lots of moths!) Otherwise it was wonderful.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was nice and tidy and clean. Great to have a dishwasher. The deck was lovely to watch the sunset on and to have breakfast watching the waves. One night here was not long enough for us.

We were under the impression that the cottage was located directly on the beach. The cottage was across the road and set back. We couldn’t completely see the beach from the cottage as we anticipated.

it was cosy and clean

I thought it was on the beach

Amazing little cottage right on the beach. Host Jude is very helpful and friendly. All the amenities you could ever need, including breakfast and chocolates. A real home away from home

Breakfast was left in the cottage, cereal, milk, bread, butter, jam/ honey etc. Plus tea and coffee. Quite sufficient to start the day.

We really enjoyed the secluded location and the views from the cottage. The cabin has all the basic amenities and the shower is strong.

Nothing

This place is just special. A great place to just chill. The accommodation is spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We spent most of our time on the deck watching the waves washing up on the deserted beach. Stunning.

Spectacular pano views, well equipped cottage, and loved the thoughtful touches like robes and welcoming chocolates. Would definitely recommend.

Okari cottage is in a spectacular location, and you truly are away from it all. Views straight out over the Tasman sea from the cottage, and there's a sandy beach across the road which is great for walking on (although the waves look a bit challenging for swimming). The accommodation is a smallish 1 room cottage with very modern amenities and the attention to detail is exceptional. A continental breakfast is provided and chocolates and bathrobes are a lovely touch. Our expectations were exceeded! Can't recommend highly enough.

Need to replace the tin-opener and sharpen the scissors. Otherwise totally perfect.

Everything.
