About The Bay House

Formerly the local surf club and cafe, The Bay House has evolved into a unique 'island style' retreat ideal for couples searching for tranquility and a touch of 'barefoot luxury' on the wild West Coast of the South Island.

Our 'child free' beachfront accommodation, built in 2018, comprises 2 x 'high spec' luxury beachfront studios and 2 x one bedroom garden suites, all ;sensitively blending into their natural West Coast environment.

The studios' design reflects its coastal surrounds. The contemporary coastal decor creates a sense of quiet understated luxury which complements and highlights the spectacular views. Natural interior textures include timber floorings (Studios #1 & #2) and 100% wool carpets in all bedrooms, NZ Made bamboo pendant lighting by Kiwi designer David Trubridge, timber kitchen bench tops & granite stone sinks, Italian natural stone bathroom tiles & bespoke native timber vanities - all of which contribute to the feeling of quality 'barefoot luxury'.

Doc and Sandra are amazing hosts. The place is clean, beautiful, and thoughtfully designed. The pictures in the ad don’t do justice! It far exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend booking this place! Wish I could give more than 5 stars!
