Most beautiful accommodation

The house is beautiful and very clean with the most amazing view. It has everything you might need including wood in order to light a fire. The host was very friendly and explained everything we needed to know. The kitchen had everything we could imagine needing. Overall we had an amazing stay.

The road to the house was bumpy to say the least and not fun to drive. At night we had millipieds enter in the house. Not a danger, just not fun to step on accidentally.

Would love to return for a longer stay. Hope the owners take up and implement our recommendations

The location is great to get away from tourists. Perfect place to unwind and relax without technology. Amenities are pretty good for cooking and relaxing. The peace and quiet of the place allows for great study, working, relaxing or convalescing.

Access to the beach could be better and I believe the owners are addressing this issue. Instructions need to be updated, be clear and concise for use of energy, access to the beach and general walks around the area. Additionally a guide for bushfire - procedure, warnings and evacuation would be my recommendation (using a step-by-step guide)

A beautiful property, secluded, quite and very, very scenic, both the ocean and the mountains

There were no clear directions on how to gain access to the beach

Cannot recommend enough!!!!

The location and views are phenomenal. The actual accommodation is beautiful. Photos just don’t do it justice!!

The drive in is abit hectic but well worth it. Stock up on supplies so you never have to leave. Beach access is also an issue but it wouldn’t stop me staying again.

great!!!

very decent and clean. it’s an absolute hideout for people who wants to escape from all the noises and crowdedness in the city.

it’s too far away, recommended for people who travel with their own vehicles.

SHOW ME THE WAY TO THE BEACH!

Loved the fact that it's totally off grid and solar powered. The open plan layout & the amazing floor to ceiling glass fronting the ocean are amazing. (There are no blinds but we were fine with that.) The big log burner fire kept us nice & warm, and at night you could look at ocean views from the lovely big bed. Well equipped kitchen with many basic supplies provided. We were there during stormy weather but even on a bad weather day the views are still incredible Must mention that the access is a 20 minute drive from the main road - its on a very bumpy dirt track through pretty patches of forest & coastal dunes - beautiful.

Theres not much in the compendium about Cloudy Bay Beach itself. A simple "mud map" of the property's grounds and clear notes on how to get to the beach is lacking, and to my mind should be an essential inclusion. It would take minutes to draw one! Jon the caretaker told us how to find beach access in his welcome chat, and that he had put in some steps but we still couldn't find it, (and we are experienced bush walkers) The compendium say beach access via front fence line gate - where? We walked as far as the neighbouring property fenceline to the east without finding beach access through the almost waist high scrub so sadly we left without setting foot on Cloudy Bay Beach at all so that was very disappointing.

Loved the isolation,the view from all areas was amazing. With the ever-changing conditions happening right in front of you. Cooking facilities were exactly what we needed would definitely go back

Took us back a bit at first with no curtains or window coverings which meant early wake up but adjusted to that as stay went on. Wasn't an issue.

The remote location and views of Cloudy Bay were stunning. John was very helpful explaining how the property facilities worked. It is definitely a retreat from the world!

There was nothing we didn't like, but visitors should be aware that it is a very long rough track to drive from the road and would be difficult to manage after rain or in the dark. The entire wall looking out to the bay is full height windows which makes for a stunning view, but if you don't like to wake with the sun you may need a sleep mask as there are no curtains.

What a location! You’re literally on the edge of the southern ocean with floor to ceiling glass views of Cloudy Bay. We were blown away by the house and facilities. We loved the fireplace and great kitchen amenities. Very well setup especially considering that the house is fully off grid and sustained by solar panels with back-up batteries & generator for extreme cases, rain water tanks, and gas for cooking/hot water. Only downside was that you had to drive back about 5-10 mins to get to the beach itself.

Amazing house that overlooks Cloudy Bay.

Couldn't find a track to the beach from the house that was easy to access.

Absolute bliss

Off grid living done right!! Solar power with 16 batteries, tank water, next to zero phone reception, no tv or Internet. Incredibly relaxing amongst natures best. Won’t think twice about coming back… next time with a 4WD! Thanks for having us, truly beautiful stay :)

Look forward to returning with steps down the front! Not the end of the world, there is a sneaky cut through further up.

The most amazing location. Jon was a great host showing us around. The only annoying thing is there is no direct access to the beach.

It is a special place with an amazing view, great walks and very private.

Its all about the location. If you like it wild and remote feeling without being very remote you will love it. The house is simple but had all we needed. The house felt to me like a beautiful place to retreat to after a day in the environment. (Although I also spent time with a book and the view). I thought it was very special.

We were there in winter and it was a little chilly even with the fire on but if you close the internal doors and just heat the living space it gets warm enough. Beach access was also a little hard to work out.

Off grid heaven

Amazing location, totally off the beaten track. Private and well equipped. We loved the property and would definitely stay again for a weekend of decompression from the city life. Lots of things to see and do on the island. Lovely, engaging property manager.

There is no direct access to walk the beach which may be a problem for some and a deep clean of the property could be done but then I am pretty fastidious about these things.

Very good

The view was amazing, it was nice and warm. Very cosy.

We only had warm water not hot for the last day of our stay. You'd want to have a 4wd for the drive in.

An experience that will always be a fond memory.

A well designed house with lots of space. The kitchen was great. The bathroom with Spa, very enjoyable. Awesome views of Cloudy Bay.

The access road is a bit of an adventure, but then again it is an isolated spot. The beach is not secluded and is difficult to access, but there are other beaches on the island that are nicer.
