Waituhi at Whitehorse Bay ~ wrapped in nature
Waituhi, translating to Glowing Waters, offers a retreat perched directly above the Tasman Sea. Nestled within rainforest and lush gardens, this bach provides a front-row seat to spectacular scenery. As one of only three properties sharing Whitehorse Bay, it delivers privacy. Step straight from the garden onto the beach, where you can watch sunsets or dramatic storms in peace.
Brew coffee using the plunger before heading out to explore. While the property has no cell reception, satellite internet is provided for your convenience, along with Netflix on the television. Windows are fitted with screens for your comfort.
The expansive deck is the ultimate spot to enjoy the view. Remember to stock up on groceries and fuel in Greymouth or Westport on your way, as the nearest shops are a drive away. Best of all, your booking helps protect wildlife, with a portion donated directly to the West Coast Penguin Trust.
