We loved staying in this historic bach right on the water. It had everything we needed and was comfortable and clean. We had a great time checking out the Paparoa track, fishing the Fox and Pororari rivers and exploring nearby caves. Would definitely come back for another weekend away!

Perfect Kiwi Bach!

We had the best weekend staying at this delightful wee bach. It had everything you could possibly need and in such a beautiful location. Laying in bed at night and listening to the waves crashing just outside was so relaxing. We will be back!!

Great bach. Very nostalgic. Location is excellent. It's a bach so not fancy but is clean, well equipped and so cool how it is tucked between the beach and the enormous cliffs behind it. The pancake rocks are minutes away, the rivers and beach are amazing, and the Punakaiki pub and garden bar are great for a cold beer and something to eat.
