Hightide River Escape - w/Outdoor Bath.

This was without a doubt the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had! The house is absolutely beautiful, so clean and incredibly cozy. The attention to details is remarkable it felt like the host thought of everything you could possibly imagine needing for a perfect stay.You will get a stunning view of the lake right in front of your kitchen! and the hot tub was such a luxurious bonus after a day of exploring. It truly felt like a "home away from home" from the moment we walked in.If you’re looking for a perfect place book this one!

The perfect place

Wow!!!! This has hands down been the best place we’ve stayed in on our 24 day tour of NZ…It is small and cosy and has so many wonderful amenities, the hot tub/bath, fire pit, outdoor decking area, hanging egg chair, an amazing waterfront garden with the added bonus of kayaks to use too.We didn’t get to use all of them as only there for two days but would’ve, if we’d stayed longer (we so wished we had).The kitchen had everything you needed if you wanted to cook and nice touches, like biscuits, marshmallows & great fresh coffee + nespresso machine..Kim & Shane were very responsive but very respectful of our privacy.We felt very relaxed after our stay & would happily recommend it to anyone.P.S we loved Hokitika too!

Wow!

We had the most relaxing, wonderful at High Tide Rvier Escape. It was eay to find up and well sign posted with easy check in. The location is private and scenic and we were stunned by the scenery. Kayaking was so much fun, and the house was so set up for two. One of the best parts of our stay was that all the fires were set up ready to light. It was a small touch but we were so stoked every time! The hot tub was luxurious and the bed was comfy and cosy.We felt so lucky to spend a long weekend here - if you get the chance to stay here you must take it!

Relaxing Escape

Wow! This place is amazing! The photos are accurate but don’t do the place justice. The cabin had everything you could ever need, it was perfection! The little touches were amazing, every little detail thought of. I can’t recommend this cabin more highly.We wish we had longer to stay and can’t wait to come back (and tell our family and friends about it).

Perfection

My wife and I found this place to be the best place of our 2-week honeymoon in New Zealand. From the views , to the amenities, the cleanliness of the place and the helpfulness of Kimberly and family. The place was spotless and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Kimberly and family went beyond bounds to make this cabin as welcoming as it can ever can be. We truly appreciate the help and the prompt responses to our many enquiries as well. Thank you once again and we hope to be back soon!!! :)
