Monthly Rentals in Awatuna

We had a wonderful stay at the loft. It was cosy, warm, private, and had everything we could have needed. It was lovely being able to hear the ocean as we slept. Highly recommend and would love to come back on our next trip to the coast!

Airbnb, for me, has always been about more than just finding a place to sleep. It is about connection—discovering places that feel a little magical, and meeting hosts who welcome you into their world, even if just for a short while. I used to bring small gifts as a way of saying thank you for that privilege. Wendy’s place reminded me why I fell in love with that kind of travel in the first place. From the moment we arrived, Wendy greeted us with warmth and genuine care. Her 5-6 hectare property is something truly special, with lakes and rivers flowing through it like a hidden sanctuary. We had the chance to kayak on her private waters, unwind in a beautiful outdoor bath under the open sky, and spend the evening around the fire, toasting marshmallows beneath the stars. Everything the other reviews mention is 100% true. If you are considering booking, do yourself a favour—stay for more than one night if you can. We only had one, but it felt like a world away from everything.

Brett's place had a comfy feel to it. Found everything we needed and it was quiet. Glad we stayed more than one night so we could rest, look around and get organized for the next leg of the journey.

Such a peaceful and private setting but still only a few minutes from Hokitika. House was so airy and light with gorgeous views of the mountains and lovely bush nearby. The trails were a delight out to the pond and kept our children entertained. The decks on different sides of the house meant depending on where the sun or breeze was, you could sit in comfort outside. Multiple living areas meant the adults and children were not on top of each other. Lovely bedrooms, great beds, super kitchen, yes it certainly ticked all the boxes.
