We will come back!
Exactly as presented, spotlessly clean and a wonderful place to stay. Wonderful hosts, the property was easy to find and peaceful place to sleep. Every need was met, including a surprising box full of spices, oil, and vinegars (and every type pots and pans) to cook up a storm on the bbq and whatever foods you can easily buy 15 minutes away in Westport. No problems with mozzies or sand flies at all, DEET spray does wonders. It is a pity we had to move on to the next stay quickly due to a family calendar, the area has a lot to see and hopefully we will be back soon and spend more time. Best wishes dear hosts, and please give a pat to those gentle dogs that kept checking we were OK while the bbq was cooking :)

In the bush
Pretty much just as described. I was a bit disappointed that the trail to the stream sounded a little too rough to navigate. I guess there was a rainfall a few days earlier and she recommended not doing it. I was hoping for more of a view from the mountain hut but you did have a near view of the bush. The manager/owner was very informative and present. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom and shower was clean and functional and only about 20 yards away.

Totally awesome place would go back in a heart beat we had a great time as there is plenty to do in that area. Just one thing, take plenty of mosquito repellent as you will need it. However apart from that this place has everything you will ever need so we would highly recommend a stay their.

Amazing off grid but comfortable stay
A very well made and looked after cabin in the middle of the bush, with everything you need! We had a very comfortable stay and loved the bushwalk down to the river. Very friendly hosts and sweet doggies too! We’ll definitely come back (and will bring more mozzie/sandfly repellent!)

A+ natural balance ... 🌿 🌅
A great combination of privacy, off-grid, cosy, and in nature on one hand, and ... all the facilities you need, and host advice and connection if you want / need that on the other. Quiet, peaceful, restorative, while all being very accessible! Highly recommended (and I'm looking forward to getting back again)!

Sweet chill-out spot on the West Coast
Had a great stay and ended up adding 3 nights to our booking. Hosts are great - relaxed and welcoming. Swimming hole close by and really well positioned to explore the Charleston - Westport area coastline, rivers and hills. So much to do in this area in the outdoors and the weather was mint as it often is on the coast. The cabin is a lovely simple space - slept heaps :-) We will be back for sure.

Beautiful location and special accomodation
Beaconstone Eco lodge is an excellent base to explore the surrounding West Coast. The mountain view hut and facilities are exceptionally clean and well-maintained and the property has a lovely feel to it. The nearby river swimming spot is wonderful and with Westport nearby it's easy to pick up supplies or head out to eat. Things to note would be that the mosquitoes can be quite relentless so repellant is an absolute must! Otherwise, it was a great spot to relax in the hammocks, read and relax with a nice private BBQ area with a beautiful view :)
