About this property

Teapot Cottage (cute and cozy 1950's time-warp)

  • STEP BACK IN TIME in our charming 1950's "grandma's cottage", a LIVING MUSEUM of a simpler era, before tvs, microwaves and computers. No WiFi, so UNPLUG and ENJOY the vintage memorabilia and cosy fire.
    WALK the beautiful Hari Hari Coastal Walkway or TAKE A DAY TRIP - 50 mins south to Glaciers, 50 mins north to Hokitika. EXPLORE natural HOT-SPRINGS within a short drive and walk or SOAK and STARGAZE in the cottage garden FIRE-BATH with stunning farm/bush/mountain views.

    Lots of classic books, board games, puzzles, and vintage dress-ups for fun on those wet West Coast days.
    Kid-friendly - cot, highchair, toys, swings and bikes.
    An authentic cottage with old-fashioned quirks, such as woolen carpets and a bathroom just outside, through the laundry.

    2 kms from Hari Hari village - an area of great hiking, fishing, hunting, lake swimming and boating.

    Natural Hot Springs in the riverbed just a 5 minute drive and 15 minute walk away - one of the Coast's best kept secrets.

    Genuine West Coast hospitality from hosts who live next door but will respect your privacy.

    Teapot Cottage is on the same acre property as our other (completely different and off-grid) accommodation, 'Wildside Lodge'.

    Special conditions:
    Pets may be allowed with prior approval.

    Extras: Linen (included);
    NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition, before you leave you are expected to: Leave the house as tidy as you found it; wash, dry and put away your dishes; wipe benches and stove.

Fantastic Winter weekend stay!

Great cottage and memories made! Exactly as described - and has got our teens out of their comfort zones. Was great to get them to experience an old skool way of living! Highlight was the hot springs down the road. Really appreciated the tour of the property and have recommended the cottage to friends already.

Hari Hari Haven

Conveniently located to many natural attractions, this home is an attraction in itself. Comfortable, clean, and full of antiques from days gone by. I felt right at home! Kath was helpful with advice about the area. A keeper, for sure.

Is exactly as it says, living in the 50’s

It’s an acquired taste, bed is comfortable and it’s as clean as it can be, ( as there’s so much stuff, dolls, Knick- knacks) so if your looking for mod cons and clean lines, this is not for you, it has an outside bathroom, but totally undercover from the front door, so you won’t get wet if it rains and sadly it did a lot during our stay, so we didn’t get to enjoy the area as much as we’d like. Kath and Dan were very welcoming

Awesome place to be. The kids and I felt right at home. Kids loved the outside area with the swing and outdoor tub. They counted over 120 teapots n and around the house.The host, Kath is warm and friendly and gave an excellent tour of their property. The place was very clean. I found everything I needed in the kitchen. It's a wonderful spot, I how we can make it back someone soon.

Teapot Cottage was a great place to stay. It fitted our adult family of five comfortably and provided us a unique experience with a record player and classic board games and books for entertainment. The host Dan showed us over his property and pointed us in the right direction for river walks nearby. We were sorry to only be there for the one night.
