Enchanted
- where the celebration never has to end
An Airbnb that throws a party. A party venue that lets you stay over.
Enchanted is not your average holiday home. It’s a soulful event space hidden just 12 minutes from Hokitika Township and designed for memory-making and dancing under stars, then curling up fireside when the music winds down.
1. The Classic Short term Stay
Just looking for a beautiful place to unwind? Book Enchanted as a short-term rental for up to 8 or 12 guests - it’s fully styled, dressed, and ready to welcome you. Simply select your guest count when booking online, and we’ll have everything beautifully set up for your arrival.
Two ways to stay, one magical place
2. The Enchanted Event Experience
Planning something special? This option allows you to host up to 20 guests for a celebration, long lunch, or retreat -while sleeping 8 - 12 on-site. You’ll enjoy all the beauty of the Classic Stay, with The Long Table styled for a larger gathering.
This is a Host’d event package. Please get in touch directly to confirm availability and plan your event.
Need more space? We have a selection of beautiful nearby stays for your additional guests - just ask, and we’ll help coordinate it all.
Why It’s So Good
The kitchen that never closes
Cook late, snack early, graze at your own rhythm. No set menu, no last orders. Just the way you like it.
The bar with no last call
Pour another round under the stars. No one’s watching the clock. There’s no bell, just the soft crackle of the fire and your favourite people close by.
Your soundtrack. Your lighting. Your guest list.
No curfews. No restrictions. No strangers passing through. Just your celebration, your way.
Private means personal
Bring your own caterer, your own playlist, your own wine cellar - or just your best mates and a chilly bin. This isn’t a venue with a vendor list. It’s your canvas.
Not boxed into someone else’s package
From flowers to firewood, you choose what matters. We offer the styling and setup when you want it, for just the right amount of guests.
Freedom rarely found in a small town
When everything else closes early, Enchanted stays open - to your plans, your people, your tunes, your pace.
Better value, less compromise
Because you’re not paying restaurant prices for someone else’s rules. Every dollar goes into what you want.
And when the night winds down, you don’t have to leave
The property sleeps up to 12 guests in six artfully entwined suites. Extra guests? We’ve got more homes nearby when the stars are high and the fire’s low.
Just 12 minutes from town
Close enough for comfort, far enough to feel like a world of your own.
