About this property

Fenian Retreat. Nestled on the edge of Kahurangi National Park, Karamea.

Come stay, unwind and check out the stunning scenery and beautiful sunsets from the deck. Relax in the hot tub and you may just hear the resident Kiwi after dark. Wake up to the birdsong in the mornings it is truly magical and the view out to the Tasman Sea is awesome. The house is self catering or Karamea has great eating places. Great coffees and pies at Vinnie's Cafe in the township. There are ample things to do in Karamea or just come and sit out on the deck and unwind or cosy up by the fire. Ride or walk the Heaphy Track and relax in the hot tub when you arrive. We cater for couples or four singles for the bed arrangements you just have to let us know what you prefer. You won't be bored Karamea also has short walks, cave tours to the Oparara Caves or just go visit the Oparara Basin we have spectacular scenery here on the West Coast, take an evening stroll around the Karamea Estuary track. Bring your rod and cast out for a snapper at Mossyburn Bridge or throw the line out up the Karamea River for a trout. Check out our museum and the history of Karamea. The Karamea Information Centre website has great information on things to see and do. The address is 334 Oparara Road, Karamea. You will see the house as you drive along the road. Get in touch with me if you want to know more by dropping me an email at oparara334@gmail.com and I will answer any questions you may have

A place to breathe
We had a wonderful few days in Karamea. The view is stunning especially the West Coast sunsets. Weather was perfect. The accomodation was A. They thought of everything and supplied so much. The hot tub was a real bonus. Couldn’t fault a thing about the place. Could have stayed longer as it was so peaceful.

Stunning home with a beautiful view
This home is beautifully decorated, very warm and comfortable. Private space with a hot tub on the deck that was fantastic day or night. Everything you need is in this home and the host was very helpful. Would highly recommend.

An Oasis
This property was absolutely stunning - a recent build - Joanne and Steve have created a paradise in Karamea at the end of the road (literally). I just wished we had stayed longer here and had more time to enjoy the house which had been thoughtfully planned and decorated throughout and was really just amazing. It was a great end to our trip up the West Coast of the South Island and one day I plan to bring my wife back here!
