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.

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!
