MAKE CARTERS BEACH YOUR DESTINATION !! 10 contemporary spacious (30m2) studios (opened Dec 2015) overlooking the Tasman Sea at Carters Beach, a pretty little village 5 min from Westport. Each studio has under tile bathroom heating, ceiling fans, a full kitchen, choice of luxurious queen or king beds and occasional chairs. Two studios have corner spa baths. The upstairs studios have balconies (all with sea views) and the ground floor studios have patios (studio 1 and 2 with sea views). Each studio is designed for maximum comfort and relaxation to the soothing sound of the sea and the local bird life. The studios have been built to maximum earthquake code and are sound proof from each other by use of concrete midspan floors and concrete block construction. Carters Beach is a sandy beach, suitable for swimming and surfing, located within Buller Bay, with relaxing walks either to the Buller River mouth or up to the impressive Cape Foulwind cliffs and Tauranga Bay with glorious sunsets. Carters by the seas is the perfect destination to base yourself and relax by the sea. We are close to the beautiful Punakaikai Rocks via the spectacular Great Ocean Road , the UNDERWORLD RAFTING TOUR or the GLOW WORM CAVE TOUR at Charleston , the SEAL COLONY & LIGHTHOUSE WALKWAY at Tauranga Bay and THE DENNISTON EXPERIENCE up at the famous Denniston Incline (30 mins out of Westport ) as well as a day out at KARAMEA and the PREHISTORIC OPARARA ARCHES ( 1.5 Hours from Carters Beach).

A great place to stay .A lovely reserve & play area across the road as was the beach . We had a sea front Unit upstairs with amazing views ( it was wet the whole time we were there & unable to sit out on the balcony ) The unit was well equipped , very clean, loved the part open shower , had everything one would need. There is a Great friendly restaurant / Bar about 100 steps down the road , with great food & wonderful service . The Accommodation is about 10min drive from the township south of Westport . It is a place I would Highly Recommend & would definitely go back

Right across from the reserve and Carter’s Beach the Motel is a great place to stay. Modern and clean this motel is a step above your average 1970s style motel that you expect to find in the west coast. Friendly host and fair price. Walk next door for a good dinner.

Nice a clean room with great in room facilities and bar/ restaurant walking distance. Sadly our major disappointment was the bed which was too hard we could feel the springs and wouldn’t be able to sleep in it again without some pain killers.

Our ground floor, ocean view apartment was modern and fresh with a beachside decor. The bed was very comfortable, room was clean and well appointed with everything you’d need for a longer stay. Noise insulation was great!! Wish we’d had a couple of nights here! The garden is very pretty, with an outdoor grass area for relaxing with a drink. This was a nice point of difference. So much to enjoy at this location...An excellent cafe/restaurant is located just a few doors along the street. The beach is across the quiet road, as is a really great children’s playground (fenced). Only a 10 minute drive to Westport township and about the same to Cape Foulwind, the seal colony, and some lovely walks. Would definitely stay again.

Had 3 lovely days at the apartments. Serviced daily, lovely and clean. Our hosts were most helpful with their recommendations and suggestions. WiFi was a bit of a problem kept dropping out once the apartments all filled up with guest. Would definitely stay again at Carter’s on the Beach.

I had originally booked an AirBnB in Greymouth but due to us being booked into a Caving Adventure in Charleston which started early, I canceled and booked Carters. And boy am I glad! After our quad bike adventure in Frans Josef and a very long drive, it was lovely to arrive to friendly staff, a spotless, modern, well equipped room. We loved being able to walk mere metres to the beach for a walk and after many meals out, being able to make our own dinner in the well appointment kitchen. We had two rooms as there was 4 of us which made the cost - $320 for one night a little bit high but it was worth the comfort. This is a lovely motel in a stunning location. I would definitely return.

On a first time visit to Westport and the surrounding region (the wife and I) couldn't decide where to stay. We wanted a sea view and nearby Carters beach seemed to be worth a look. We booked into the Beachside apartments and it was a good move. You overlooked the beach (which was about a 100 metre walk to get to) and for bonus value there was a pub / eatery about a 25 metre walk to get to. The weather was fantastic so it made our stay all the more pleasurable. The room was spacious and well appointed. Westport is only 5 km away as well. We arrived unannounced (i like to live dangerously and not plan anything.... occasionally) and the staff were pretty good at sorting something for us. A great spot that is well worth a visit.
