About this Holiday House

For the first time since it was built, ‘the Bluffs’ is now available for the public to stay. This iconic residence perched atop the cliffs at Gore Bay has the most amazing view and serene setting. Concealed down a landscaped driveway with neighbours nowhere in sight ‘The Bluffs’ offers space ‘o plenty. Boasting five large double bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms (two ensuites) accommodating up to 13 guests. Ocean views are had by three of the bedrooms including private patios so you can take in the view overlooking gardens. From any room, you can wake up to the awesome dawn chorus and the hypnotic crashing waves. Being above the beach means you get a lot more sun, and being perfectly situated ‘The Bluffs’ open-plan layout offers easy access indoor outdoor with ranch sliders and large windows to enjoy the sun as it moves around the house. A classic log burner is in residence to warm any cold wintery feet. Whilst also heating the water the fire ensures you can take that hot shower after a dip in the cool Pacific Ocean. ‘The Bluffs’ has wheelchair access throughout including a bedroom with ensuite on the ground level.

Special Amenities

'The Bluffs' is very private, the rural setting means you cannot see or hear any neighbours. There are walks around the property through extensive gardens, and a native tree gully to explore for the adventurous. But do be mindful the cliffs are not fenced at any point. Being rural means no light pollution, so the night sky is wide and star-filled great for photography and general star gazing. The iconic Cathedral cliffs a natural land formation which overlooks Gore bay is a 5-minute walk.

Special Attractions and Activities Nearby

Gore Bay is a well-known surf beach, you can get surfing lessons by top surfers - hire of boards and wetsuits are available. Top-notch surfcasting and fly fishing spots are both nearby at Manuka Bay and the Hurunui River (5-10 mins car). Where the Hurunui River meets the ocean (the river mouth) there are excellent Kayaking and swimming spots. There are both coastal and bush walks in and around the Gore Bay area, and the roads are nice and safe to cycle. Gore Bay has several playgrounds and a tennis court. Cheviot town is 7 km away and has cafes, takeaways, and a pub that serves evening meals. A 4-Square supermarket which stocks most things, a hardware store, and a homeware/gift store. Note. Cheviot does not have a pharmacy, however, the supermarket does supply a few things that you wouldn't expect.
