Gorgeous Coastal Cottage!
Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful wee beachside cottage. Couldn't ask for more, with birdsong, native life (including some large spiders!), waves crashing to shore, the odd passing coal train, friendly sheep and goat "neighbours"! It was a lovely, peaceful autumn getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed walking the beach in the mornings and got to see the natural beauty of the area. Everything was clean and well thought out. The only thing I noticed was the queen mattress in the main bedroom was quite soft and had a roll together feel, which was a little uncomfortable. We had two teenagers with us who slept in the sleepout and enjoyed their stay in "nature". Thank you again for a memorable experience.

Romantic Staycation
Lovely quiet and peaceful. Was just right for a Valentine’s surprise. This place gives you a warm hug when you first walk in the door and when you leave. Comfortable bed with lovely sheeting, smart tv was great entertainment.The out door bath is wonderful for relaxing. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely will come back only a 2 hour drive from home on the wonderful coast road.

Relaxing stay in Granity
We had a lovely stay in Granity. The house was lovely, clean and tidy. Had a bit of rain while there, so the covered outdoor areas where fantastic. Outdoor bath was great too.

Great West Coast Bach
Great clean, lovely bach with everything you need. Nice outdoor dining area. Close access to beach. One suggestion would be to replace the queen mattress in main bedroom which is sunken in the middle and uncomfortable to sleep on. Ended up using the double bed in the spare room instead which was fine.

Cozy getaway
A wonderful few nights in this warm, charmingly rustic and delightful West Coast bach. Very nice landscaping around the place. A well appointed kitchen and just a few minutes stroll to the beach. Hightlights for our group included the dramatic coal train rumbling passed just outside the back door and arriving on a blustery, cold afternoon to find the fire place set, all ready to be lit.

Granity cottage
We enjoyed our recent stay catching up with past friends and acquaintances as we used to live here. The house was comfortable and clean. The nights we stayed were very hot and humid, a fan would have made it more comfortable. We couldn't get cell phone reception in the house unfortunately, however it did come in up the road a little. I found the firmer bed in the second room much more comfortable than the one in the main bedroom .

Characterful comfortable bach
Pretty much as expected and we enjoyed our stay very much. Loved the proximity to the beach. Trains were more frequent than advised but they did not trouble us. The resident weka was a plus. Would recommend this property for a delightful whimsical West Coast stay.

Cosy Bach
The perfect place to be cosy when its raining and close to beautiful walks and mountain bike riding when its not. The Granity Gallery had some very talented artists, including weaving. We even had the fire on for one really cold and wet Nov day and with the sound of the train gently go through every now and then (no night train). I was worried the kitchen would be too small to cook in but it had everything you could need. Thanks Marie!

We had a great time staying in Granity. It's a lovely little cottage with a cosy fire, the roar of the sea, and not far down the road from some great attractions. I would go back in a heartbeat.
