A treetop experience! Set in a beautifully landscaped west coast bush garden. Great fibre and free wifi for streaming. Newly carpeted two storeyed cottage. Perfect for couples or singles and especially cyclists. It is not suitable for elderly, or mobility challenged guests. Access to the upstairs is via a short flight of steep stairs. It also has a typical loft ceiling in the sleeping space, not ideal for tall people. There is undercover cycle storage in the huge carport, a new bathroom/laundry with washer and drier and a shared ground floor storage room with electric drying racks, a steam press and small vertical freezer.
Upstairs is an airy studio loft style space. It sleeps 3 with one double bed and 1 single. A brand new kitchen with double induction hob, microwave, slow cooker, and wok, Or eat out at the great cafe across the street. Seaview glimpses from upstairs. Underbench fridge with access to freezer downstairs. DVD library with portable player. Fern Arch cottage shares its location with Kupe Cottage which sleeps 3. If your group is largeish, just book both cottages. Both cottages are just two minutes walk from beautiful Carters Beach (see photos), and the new Kawatiri Coastal walking and biking trail. Carters Beach is 5 mins drive from downtown Westport and 2 mins from the airport and golf links,

NO CAMPERVANS PLEASE. USE OF THE COTTAGE AND THE SERVICES IT OFFERS E.G. SHOWERS, LINEN WIFI. TOILET ARE LIMITED TO THE GUESTS REGISTERED ON THE BOOKING.

The cleaning fee is a one time charge not a nightly charge. So the longer you stay the cheaper your nightly rate. It covers the cost of laundering your bed bath and kitchen linen, cleaning the equivalent of a small house, and the cost of cleaning products and appliances used.

Charging your electric car using our power is not permitted. It is a safety and insurance issue for us. Chargers are available at both supermarkets.

    Very unique property, not keen on the stairs, difficult to get luggage up to the living area but we coped with leaving it downstairs, no others using the shared space so felt safe enough. Bed comfortable and warm. Electronic Cooktop did not work but there was an older version which did work very well and sufficed for our needs. Beautiful stay for an economical rate. Thank you so much! We loved it :)

    The property is quite quirky and fun. It's in a beautiful area, close to a restaurant/cafe and close to the Westport Golf course. The host let us take spinach from the garden...a real bonus. Just be aware that the steps up to the loft are more like a step ladder than a stair case!!

    Stayed x 10 nights. Very comfortable and had everything I needed. Donaldo's right across the road. Short walk to beach. No issues with stairs or loft living. Would definitely consider staying again.

    We unfortunately had a death in the family and our host was amazingly accommodating. Neat little cottage and great location. Will definitely stay again.

    Very comfortable. Had everything I needed. Great location. Do read the fine print - (very) low ceiling in lounge/bedroom - and the stairs would be challenging if you are not particularly mobile. However, I would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

    The short steep stair access and low ceilings are certainly real but we (80 and 73) managed just fine. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the location, spaciousness and kitchen outfitting were great...which made for a very nice 3 night stay--much of which was wet and cold! Thank you
