Tranquil Karekare Valley Home

Tranquil Valley Home, 4 guests 2 upstairs bedrooms. A walk on Karekare beach is one of the most memorable walks in the country. Some of the local bush and coastal walks are also highly rated.

Karekare, like many other parts of the West Coast, does not have good mobile phone reception or internet capability. As such there is no internet at the house. There is some mobile reception at the house but it is better down towards or on the beach. Karekare is consistently rated one of New Zealand’s and the world’s top beaches. There are seven km’s of beach walk down to Whatipu for that complete remote experience. As it is a dangerous surf beach swim only when the lifeguards are on duty and never alone. There are no shops at Karekare so you need to bring everything you need. Guest access Whole house
