Koru B&B Homestay and Cabin

Stayed two nights with my teenage girls. One night in the cabin and the other in the homestay. (Cabin was booked out), Everything was spotlessly clean, from the house to the spa pool. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. Nigel shuttled us to the Paparoa track and return for a very reasonable fee. Roxy and Nigel had a huge wealth of local knowledge with history and photos. Loved exploring the beach. Lovely property, with a variety of accommodation options. Loved everything about this place. Thank you for hosting us.

Seriously cool place with a cozy hotpool and friendly hosts. Surrounded by stunning bush and close to the coast, you cant go wrong.

Awesome hosts. 5 min walk to the beach. Hot tub overlooking a natural spring lake. Ample living area. Local pub with great meals including white bait fritters!!

Nice property with fantastic coastal views. Gianna was a great host and very helpful and attentive. As an added bonus, it is pet friendly!

Nigel and Karen were great hosts at our stopover from Franz Joseph to Nelson. They cooked home food which was great taste and enjoyed home brewed beer too. Both have lots of stories to share and sunset was a bonus from their living room. Nigel helped us with continental breakfast and local tips. Sauna was the best in the night when it was very quiet. Big size room at homestay with ensuite bathroom. Thanks and stop again one day. If you are in this area do one or two local walks such as Truman track and stop at Fox River market on Sunday.

When arrived met by nervous caretaker who appeared embarrassed about the accommodation. Room was pretty much a shed damp and uninviting. We were told when we arrive at 4pm we only had until 6pm to use hot pool/spa that didn't work out as we were starving and wanted to eat. The bed was like out of a budget horror movie springs poking through and the pillows were so thin and flimsy. The toilet was a chemical one that didn't flush. The breakfast was old dry cereal in jars a carton of long life milk and a toaster with no bread... the coffee was a clump of old coffee in a Jar unusable. I know it was cheap but that was not worth even $100. My advice use my money to get a second hand pillow top mattress. Take away offering breakfast and use the money to just have tea coffee sachets and decent milk. Take out the toaster it haunts you when there is no bread or no shop in town. . .

Fantastic little place. A short 5 min walk to the beach. Great sunsets on a gorgeous sandy beach. There wasn’t a single person to be found on the beach. We had the house dog escort us on our walk. The place was very comfortable with all the necessities. We cooked a nice meal in the kitchen as we enjoyed the the last bits of sun set into the horizon. The bed was comfortable and the area was very quiet. There was a hot tub but we didn’t utilize the amenity.

A lovely spot to stop on the West Coast. Stunning scenery and superb hosts. Everything was well maintained and clean.Would definitely recommend a walk to the beach and a dip in the hot tub.Thank you Nigel & Karen it’s evident you both love what you do!
