Serenity in Punakaiki - Free wifi

Come and relax in our family bach!

Lovely private spot located in the heart of Punakaiki Village, a short stroll from everything you need - enjoy the beach and watch the sunset over the ocean, kayak or swim in the Pororari river and dine at the Punakaiki Tavern without having to get in the car.

Also located directly across the road from the Paparoa Track and the Pororari River walk. The Pancake Rocks are a 15 minute walk to the South.

Our cottage is comfortable, tidy and well equipped for families, with kids toys and games provided. The grounds are spacious, with beautiful established trees and native birdsong. The deck is great for enjoying meals outdoors and for relaxing while listening to the sound of the ocean.

- The kitchen and bathroom are both an older style but function well.
- The main bedroom has a queen size bed.
- The second bedroom is separated from the lounge by a curtain.
- There is an additional set of bunks available in the laundry room if required.
- Super-fast fibre broadband/Wifi is provided.

Please note:
- Linen not provided. Please bring your own sheets, pillowcases, towels, facecloths and tea towels. Each bed has a mattress protector, pillow and duvet.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, superb location. Feedback: some maintenance required on the septic tank, overflowing outside the bathroom. Also lockbox for key requires replacing. Regards Neil
