About this property
Creighton's Cottage - Paturau River
Creighton's Cottage is a self-contained cabin situated near the mouth of the Paturau River. It's a basic kiwi bach that provides a comfortable, warm base for anyone wanting to explore the beautiful west coast of Golden Bay.
The cabin can accommodate up to six people, with two double beds and two single beds. Bring your own bedding (pillows provided).
The kitchen includes an oven/stove, a microwave and a fridge/freezer, and the bathroom has a shower, vanity and washing machine.
The Lavatory is a good old kiwi long drop, but one with style and a view!
There is no phone or internet reception at the cabin, but a three-minute drive up the road will reconnect you with the outside world.
For those seeking a real getaway, this is the spot!
