    Amazing location just outside Hokitika. Comfy bed and very big and clean bathroom. Best location for access to the beach with mountain views on the front side. Also fantastic star gazing on a clear night. There is an old chair lift on the...

    Wish we had booked longer. We had a couple of nights that were supposed to be at a luxury establishment and this far surpassed in comfort, ease of use, and location. The private beach was a special bonus.

    Super location close to a fantastic deserted beach with views over the mountains as well. Comfortable room with well equipped kitchen.

Mananui Beach in Te Reo Maori means Bigheartbeach and that is why my place is called that... you’ll feel it as soon as you step foot on this pretty much private beach that you can walk for miles on and see no one .. a very special spot
Having returned ‘home’ after 30 years living in beautiful Queenstown I want to share Bigheartbeach and I have built a beautiful purpose built apartment for this reason alone. Hope you get to enjoy it
Quiet and private apartment situated close to beach and on a little farmlet only 5 minutes from Hokitika town and airport. Amazing beach and also bush walks all around
