The property is also a delight for bird enthusiasts with several kererū (New Zealand wood pigeons). Enjoy the serenity of nature and the charm of these majestic birds as you unwind in this peaceful retreat. We are just an email or message away if you require any assistance during your stay. We have a very busy focused team and trying to reach us by phone can be challenging so for a swift reply please use the reservation platform you booked through. You will have the entire house to make your own, kick back and relax. Private driveway for secure parking. Our spacious holiday home is designed with families and groups in mind, offering three beautifully furnished bedrooms, two modern bathrooms, and two cozy lounges where everyone can spread out and relax. Whether you're swapping stories over a family board game, curling up with a good book, or simply gazing out at the majestic mountains, there’s space for everyone to feel right at home. Rain or shine, there’s plenty to enjoy. On those rare West Coast rainy days, the house is a warm and inviting retreat, perfect for enjoying quality time together. And when the sun is shining, step outside and take advantage of the ample room to ride bikes, play, or simply soak up the tranquility. You might even spot or hear the kereru (native wood pigeon) as they gracefully swoop through the trees, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. Outdoor Adventure at Your Doorstep Situated right on the renowned West Coast Wilderness Bike Trail, Mountain View Retreat is a paradise for cycling enthusiasts. Bring your bikes and explore this world-class trail that winds through lush forests, glistening rivers, and panoramic mountain landscapes. If you’re towing a boat, there’s plenty of parking space, making it easy to access nearby lakes and rivers for a day of fishing or water fun. Why You’ll Love It Here: • Peaceful mountain views that feel like a world away, yet we’re just a short drive from Hokitika’s charming shops, cafes, and beach. • A fully equipped kitchen to whip up family meals, plus plenty of dining space to gather and savour the moment. • Thoughtful touches throughout the home, ensuring you feel welcomed and comfortable. • Easy access to iconic West Coast attractions like the Hokitika Gorge, Lake Kaniere, and even the glowworm dell for evening adventures. • This is more than a place to stay - it’s a place to make memories. Whether you’re looking for action-packed days of biking and exploring, or a peaceful retreat to relax and recharge, Mountain View Retreat is the perfect home base for your West Coast getaway. Book your stay today and let the adventure begin! Mountain View Retreat is equipped with two (2) commercial-sized air conditioning/heat pumps - one in each lounge - ensuring the home stays warm and welcoming in every season. At the owners’ request and in the interest of safety and care for all our guests, the fireplaces are NOT available for use. There is no firewood supplied or stored at the property for this reason. We appreciate your understanding, and we’re confident you’ll find the heat pumps keep the whole house cosy and comfortable throughout your stay. If you need more space or have a larger group please check out our other Host'd beach retreats or reach out to see how we may find you the perfect fit for your vacation. Come and stay to experience the best New Zealand has to offer! From the breathtaking ocean views to the cozy comforts of our thoughtfully designed spaces, every detail is here to help you unwind and connect with the beauty of the West Coast. Many of our guests have shared that "one night is never enough" - a sentiment that has since become our Host'd strapline. We invite you to discover why and make memories that will last a lifetime. Travelling with an Electric Vehicle? If you’re travelling with an electric car, you're very welcome to charge it here at the property during your stay. Please bring your own charging cable - a longer one can be helpful, as plug access is usually inside the house. There’s also a public charging station nearby at New World Hokitika, in case that’s more convenient for you. Whichever option works best, we hope it helps keep your travels smooth and easy. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,099 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121920000/121919400/121919311/7a28b2b6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Livingstone Retreat is perfect for family's & large groups to relax & enjoy!
