Guest reviews for Rataview
"It is a nice property. An upgrade to the tv size to fit the space"
"Small tv and could use some additional lighting"
"The classic West Coast sunset was amazing and don't miss a star-gazing opportunity if you can!"
"Aucun."
"Very peaceful location with a short drive to Punakaiki Rocks. Tidy cottage with good supply in kitchen and great shower water pressure."
"Limited view being behind the Rata building as described, able to use outside lawn space and seating at building for sunset though."
"Very nice location for a trip up the Northwest coast of South Island. Close to beaches and Pancake Rocks. A good base to head further up the coast to Cape Foulwind where we saw the seals. It actually could take 4 people but we only had 2."
"Our cottage was right behind another, so we didn't have a view from inside the place."
"Simple cottage with plenty of facilities. Beautiful location. Comfortable beds."
"Basic and a bit dated here and there. No decent views from the cottage. No extractor hood in the kitchen."
"Barrytown coastal route 6 is phenomenal!! Awesome views, comfy cabin. We had Netflix one night. Close to Pancake Rocks, Conservation Visitor Center, both where awesome. Pancake Cafe had great food!! We loved our stay."
"Unfortunately Rata Cottage, it rained hard the second night. I love the rain, but it knocked out Netflix (cable service). Bummer, but we tried talking to the property manager. She didn't come out to fix it. Poor Chris volunteered to assist, he was renting in RataView where the router/modem is kept. Anyway, we tried."
"Great place. We will be stay there for more days, if it will be possible"

Guest reviews
"Location was great for our purposes of hiking in the area. Room 5 was spacious which beat just having a room. Loved having the communal kitchen space available to cook a simple meal."
"Scenic location looking out to mountains and convenient to trails."

Buechele Anchorage Motel
"The breakfast was on the light side but for the price of the room it was substantial. Other breakfast options were nearby."

"Views to die for! Loved, loved, loved this cottage which was adjoined to, but separate, from the main hosts house - an arrangement we prefer for privacy. This is a very comfortable cottage which has been nicely furnished to welcome guests. The linen and towels are luxurious. Parking is outside the door which opens to the bathroom, toilet and small but most adequate kitchenette. From here you descent 4 steps to the bedroom and lounge area and two balconies. This lovely, comfortable property would be suited for short and long term visits and the hosts Jane and Mike are warm and welcoming. This top rated property was an absolute pleasure to stay in - thank you so much."

"One to two min walk to the beautiful beach, close to shops in case we wanted anything. Carol is an amazing host and cook! We had five star meals there . She generously gave us her recipes, her time to answer our questions and our room had everything we could want or need. Her property is so pretty and inviting! Thank you!"
"This is a beautiful property, quiet, spotless and perfect! The location is wonderful and the owners are so gracious and helpful."
