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!

Cute little cottage

The cottage hides in a stunning farm overlooking the river and the beach. We enjoyed the most was watching the sunset by the campfire on the beach and also the wake-up calls of the birds. Great place for a family escape.

Unique remote kiwi Bach.

Wonderful to be phone and tech free! The Bach a relaxing place to stay. Great star-gazing with zero light pollution, a great break from the hassles of daily life. Thanks for having us, we will return 😊

Great little basic bach

Nice basic little bach. No large pots in the kitchen, so if you're chasing crayfish, it might pay to take your own.

Lovely spot, had a great time.

Real kiwi Bach, could do with a new second hand couch as it was very uncomfortable. All in all a neat ace to stay.

Fabulous stay in Paturau

We love the location and the rustic batch. Georgina looked after us even though she is busy running a farm and a family. We felt welcome. The access to river and sea is unbeatable! The scenery and being on a working farm were the perfect refuge from regular life. Loved it.
