Tui Hill Retreat – lifestyle and opportunity
Nestled in the beautiful Fox River and locally known as Tui Hill, this special property carries a rich history as a place of retreat and restoration. Over the years it has been home to a women’s refuge and a Buddhist retreat, reflecting the peaceful, restorative environment that continues to define it today. Set on almost 1 hectare of elevated land with breathtaking views out to the Tasman Ocean, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to create a private lifestyle haven, income-generating retreat, or accommodation business on the edge of the Paparoa National Park. The main dwelling is a two-bedroom home full of rustic charm. Downstairs features a bedroom with its own ensuite, opening out onto a private deck surrounded by native trees – a peaceful, secluded space perfect for guests or personal retreat. This area also includes a kitchenette space with the potential to be completed, offering an exciting opportunity to create a fully self-contained unit that could be separated from the main house for additional income. Designed with off-grid living in mind, the home includes solar power, gas hot water, cooking facilities, and water storage, allowing for a sustainable lifestyle immersed in nature. Beyond the home, the property includes four huts, two of which have already been renovated and was successfully operated as Airbnb accommodation. The remaining two cabins are ready for completion, provide further opportunity to expand guest accommodation and develop the property into a boutique retreat destination. There maybe the option to add additional cabins or facilities, with ample space across the land to grow the vision. Tucked away in a private sanctuary, surrounded by lush native bush and close to both river and beach, this property offers a unique blend of seclusion and accessibility. Outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and beach exploration are right at your doorstep, while Westport and Greymouth remain within easy driving distance. This is a property for someone with vision – a rare opportunity to bring new life to a place already rich in purpose and potential.

Escape to this exclusive off-grid estate overlooking the Tasman Sea with uninterrupted views of Buller Bay. Located in the bespoke Nikau Landing subdivision, this architecturally designed home is nestled atop an elevated approx. 4.69 ha landholding, surrounded by protected native bush along the sought-after Nikau coastal ridge. This property offers an extraordinary sense of peace and privacy, where luxury, sustainability, and nature exist in harmony. From the moment you arrive, the outside world fades away. The 218m² residence has been thoughtfully crafted from enduring natural materials and is defined by its open-plan kitchen-living layout. Once inside, your gaze is naturally drawn to the infinity-style picture window, framing one of the likely best views in New Zealand. The spacious living area seamlessly flows onto an expansive wrap-around deck—the ultimate vantage point to enjoy the coastal panorama and sublime sunsets. The kitchen features beautiful granite benchtops and island seating, inviting long meals with family and friends. A stylish Rayburn range cooker acts as a striking centrepiece while providing radiant heating throughout the home. In the lounge area, the Yunca wood burner is tucked against a natural stone surround, creating warmth and ambience, as well as efficient hot water heating via the wetback. Accommodation includes three generous bedrooms. The private upstairs master suite features more awe-inspiring views and a separate full bathroom overlooking the bush backdrop. The guest bedrooms are situated downstairs, also with a second bathroom and equally beautiful outlooks, complete with a private deck. Outdoors, the established native gardens blend into the surrounding natural landscape, attracting abundant birdlife. The cast-iron Spiroloc fire-bath is perfectly placed to relax under the stars—most nights you can hear morepork calling. Organic vegetable gardens and fruit trees complement the property's self-sufficient design, which includes off-grid solar power, backup generator, gas facilities, three hot water sources (solar, gas, and wetback), a 30,000-litre water tank, and a Living Earthworm System (LEW) septic setup. The carpeted double garage with integrated laundry, generous storage throughout the home, and ample parking complete the practical features. Location is key, with the beach and coastal village of Mokihinui just a 5-minute drive away. Westport township is an easy 35-minute commute. For outdoor enthusiasts, world-class tracks are nearby—Old Ghost Road, Heaphy Track, Kawatiri Coastal Trail and the Paparoa Track. The property currently operates as the highly regarded ‘Wild Weka Eco Stay’ boutique accommodation. You can choose to continue operating the Airbnb, or simply enjoy it as an exceptional private residence. Whether you’re looking to unplug from the daily grind or seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle, this is a place to reconnect and experience a way of life increasingly difficult to find in one of New Zealand's most spectacular coastal settings.
