Comfortable, with a great view
Found this to be a really warm, modern place to stay. Located up on the treeline, the views are fantastic, and even better when the sun sets. Hot tub was warm on arrival and a very welcome way to enjoy the evening.

Perfect for post Heaphy rest and relaxation!
We really enjoyed our stay at Fenian Retreat. The house is spotlessly clean and very very comfortable, with a beautiful outlook over farmland to the ocean.

A place to breathe
We had a wonderful few days in Karamea. The view is stunning especially the West Coast sunsets. Weather was perfect. The accomodation was A. They thought of everything and supplied so much. The hot tub was a real bonus. Couldn’t fault a thing about the place. Could have stayed longer as it was so peaceful.

An Oasis
This property was absolutely stunning - a recent build - Joanne and Steve have created a paradise in Karamea at the end of the road (literally). I just wished we had stayed longer here and had more time to enjoy the house which had been thoughtfully planned and decorated throughout and was really just amazing. It was a great end to our trip up the West Coast of the South Island and one day I plan to bring my wife back here!

Stunning home with a beautiful view
This home is beautifully decorated, very warm and comfortable. Private space with a hot tub on the deck that was fantastic day or night. Everything you need is in this home and the host was very helpful. Would highly recommend.
