    The view was phenomenal!! The cottage adorable. And, the fact that there was a washer and dryer on site was the best. I guess I was so excited about the washer/dryer that I didn’t realize there was no microwave in the Miro cottage. All good...

Our cottages have been built over the last decade, each one is unique and ideally situated on the property for privacy, landscaping and some with views of the sea. We have recently built a beach side house for families and couples travelling together wanting to stay a couple of days to explore the Paparoa National Park and activities in the area. Our property borders the Paparoa National Park and is just minutes walk to the beaches. We have a self check in policy which will be emailed to you about 2 days before you arrive, please contact us if this has not been received or check you junk folder. We do not staff the office.
