West Coast

Please note: Vaccination passports will be required for all bookings once the Traffic Light System starts sometime in December. Please only proceed with a booking if you, and everyone in your party that the booking is for, agree to provide proof of vaccination (12 years and over). Proof of vaccination will be asked for when checking in, and those unable to provide a vaccination passport will be turned away-so please only proceed if you're happy with this requirement. We understand this is a sensitive issue, and respect everyone's point of view, but our business is only able to operate if we abide by this government regulation. Thank you for your understanding. The Rimu House, named after the beautiful wood it is made of, is a very comfortable home with a view. A fully equipped kitchen, and open plan style living room opens out onto a large deck putting you amongst the surrounding native virgin forest and offers spectacular views of the Tasman Sea, which is a stones throw away. A perfect spot to watch the local Hector dolphins which are often seen playing in the waves. Our one-thousand acre property is set in surroundings where Aotearoa is as it used to be—lush, unspoiled and natural. A slice of paradise. Gentle Annie is an ideal place to get off the beaten track to experience New Zealand's untamed wilderness and truly appreciate the South Island’s West Coast. Bounded by the Tasman Sea, the mighty Mokihinui River and beautiful ancient bush, our seaside accommodation is a peaceful place to relax and enjoy time away from the busy life and provides a great base to explore our stunning region. Centrally located in the Northern West Coast, Gentle Annie is near places of interest where day trips will get you north to the magnificent Oparara Limestone Arches, the Kahurangi National Park, the Heaphy Track and south to the Chasm Creek and Charming Creek Walkways, Punakaiki Pancake Rocks, the Denniston Plateau and the Cape Foulwind Seal Colony. We are on the doorstep of the new Old Ghost Road mountain-biking track in Seddonville! In any season, enjoy time at Gentle Annie. It will nourish your soul and awaken your senses. Special conditions: Linen is available for hire at $20 per bed per stay - please request when booking.
