Tahakopa Bay at Sunset

Reviews

""My wife and I recently stayed three nights at the beautiful Tahakopa Bay Retreat. To adequately describe our stay, would take several pages and still not do justice to the wonderful experience. The Retreat is in every sense perfection. You feel an absolute sense of comfort and satisfaction the moment you step inside. Everything is quality and done with superb taste, making you feel so welcome. The environment and tranquility is amazing, as is the privacy you enjoy. I have seldom felt so completely relaxed and immediately at home, an unmatched experience and true joy.""
"This was our second visit and will be returning again, for longer. It really is a get away and relax location, in a very beautiful part of NZ. The location, the style and build quality, amenities and the number of little touches are outstanding."
"An absolutely stunning property.
Designed around low stress and total relaxation, it is the epitome of a retreat.
The sunrises and sunsets are something else.  I really hope to be back in the summer to make the most of the deck and the views.  100% recommend."

"Absolutely stunning home to stay in. We loved every second of our stay. The details and thought put into every single space in the house was breathtaking i loved it. The surroundings are pure bliss and so tranquil. We will definitely be back!"
Michelle and Cameron's place belongs in an episode of "Grand Designs." It is outstanding in every regard. Absolute peace and beauty. Magnificent views and an isolated long beach all to yourself. You'll want for nothing. Michelle is a very warm and responsive host as well.

"Amazing location and accommodation, had all the bells and whistles you could want. Very secluded and cosy and a great place to recharge and enjoy the surrounding, we hope to be back sometime in the future! Thanks for the hospitality."
"If you are after peace and solitude this is the place. Absolutely superb accommodation with amazing attention to detail. Beautiful furnishings, linen bedding, chef’s kitchen, wood burner and outside bath. Fall asleep listening to the ocean waves and enjoy a coffee from the comfortable rocking chair on the front deck. The native bird song was a delight."
Luxurious romantic weekend escape for honeymooners at the Catlins Coastal Hideaway

"Hands down the most beautiful spot we have ever stayed in. From the home, to the location, 10/10. The views are incredible, a pure piece of paradise. Cameron and Michelle were wonderful hosts! Hopefully we will be back one day!"
"Heard of ‘a little slice of paradise’? That’s this cozy hideaway in a nutshell.
Remote enough to feel like you’re truly away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yet close enough to explore the local area if you’re so inclined, the cabin is well equipped with everything you could possibly need.  Heaven truly is curling up by the wood burner reading a book and looking out at the phenomenal view.
Everyone should experience this place, and we’re already planning a return trip!"
"For a luxurious break away in the most picturesque surroundings this place cannot be bettered. Tranquil and simply breathtaking views, coupled with simple touches and great taste, we can't recommend the place an higher."
"If you are after peace and solitude this is the place. Absolutely superb accommodation with amazing attention to detail. Beautiful furnishings, linen bedding, chef’s kitchen, wood burner and outside bath. Fall asleep listening to the ocean waves and enjoy a coffee from the comfortable rocking chair on the front deck.
