    This was a delightful private quirky cottage in a peaceful setting. Was great to see the history of the place in pictures on the walls. Locals very friendly at the pub over the road - 5 min walk. Plus good burgers from there.

Forest Edge is a loved home with a sense of nature, magic and wonder..Only 10 minutes drive from Punakaiki, pancake rocks, blowholes, Information Centre, walking tracks and restaurants.You will find all that you need in the newly renovated home in the woods.Bring food to cook in the fully equipped kitchen, and rest well in comfortable bedrooms and you will enjoy the clean, bright and comfortable living spaces and spacious deck.Warm and cosy with a woodburner for winter, bright and sunny in summer. Enjoy the wild gardens along with local walks, attractions and activities, you will find 2 days stay will not be long enough. Forest Edge has spectacular sunsets over the ocean, birdsong, bright numerous stars at night and the wild natural beauty of the ever changing forest.Idyllic, private and safe location with stunning elevated views of the rugged Westland Coastline and temperate rainforest.On a clear day you can see Mount Cook rising into the sky 300kms away. Explore nature, rebalance whilst you stay at Forest Edge, and leave feeling refreshed and relaxed.
