LimeStone Cabin

Punakaiki, West Coast


LimeStone Cabin is located on the West Coast, along the famous Great Coastal Highway, just a five-minute drive from Punakaiki. It's approximately halfway between Greymouth and Westport.

Surrounded by native flora, LimeStone Cabin is a haven for nature lovers, with tui, bush robin, wax eyes, weka, and more gracing the surroundings.

From the moment you arrive, unwavering attention to detail creates an atmosphere of tranquillity and sophistication. The cabin, adorned with natural materials and modern design, is a sanctuary amid lush landscaping.

Inside the cabin, the living room merges into a fully equipped kitchen complete with a dishwasher. The separate bedroom has a queen bed and luxurious French linen. It offers a unique connection to nature with a stacking door opening to a stunning green backdrop. The outdoor decks, seemingly floating in the surroundings, showcase a deep circular outdoor bath.

Nestled within the surrounding sub-tropical native bush, guests can also unwind in the panorama sauna — a serene retreat designed to immerse you in the sights and sounds of the forest while you relax in its gentle warmth.

LimeStone Cabin is more than a stay; it's an invitation to immerse yourself in nature while indulging in comfort.

Includes Sauna

Your hosts at Escape

YOUR HOSTS

Your hosts at Limestone Cabin are Steph and Morgan, and their children Evelyn, Walter and Olive.

As locals who've travelled the Westport-Greymouth road for decades, they've always felt drawn to linger in its breathtaking beauty. Limestone Cabin emerged from their desire to pause and connect with this extraordinary landscape.

For this family of five, the cabin serves as a retreat where they reconnect with nature and each other. Nestled between the ancient Paparoa Ranges and the relentless Tasman Sea, it's simply beautiful. The cabin itself is embraced by thriving bush - not just near the forest, but immersed within it. Ferns, rātā vines, and birdsong create an atmosphere where guests feel the forest breathing alongside them.

When not hosting, Steph works in local government while Morgan works for an environmental company.

Your hosts can't wait to invite you to stay at their slice of paradise.
