Te Whare Moana Escape - stunning clifftop sea view
Escape to a secluded cabin and wake to the roar of surf, birdsong, and breathtaking sunrises over the wild Pacific Ocean. Tucked amid native and exotic trees, with coastal views, this cosy cabin offers a true nature escape to slow down, pause, and restore. Sip a morning coffee on any of the three outdoor decks, stretch in the fresh coastal air, or unwind with a wine and BBQ under the stars beside the outdoor fireplace. Christchurch is 90mins but we prefer our 2 wild beaches, a short stroll away.
