Thank you, we had a wonderful, relaxing stay. The bach was bright, cheery and warm, and had so much character. The setting is stunning, with limestone cliffs, the roaring sea and nikau groves. My favourite room was the sitting room with its funky retro vibe and the comfy sofa. We spent many hours there.

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!!

This was a great place to stay following finishing the Paparoa track. It was just as the photos showed, lots of great character in a beautiful part of the country. We would stay here again. Thanks so much.

Fabulous place right by the beach and a 10 walk to Pancake Rocks. The property feels ‘lived in’ without being tired or neglected. Felt privileged to have shared what is clearly someone’s family holiday home. A treat.

Pounding surf

Great to get back on the Coast and stay in a simple cosy bach. We had good weather so took advantage of the day walks and enjoyed the sound of the waves pounding on the rocks at night. A comfortable chair to read a book in would have topped it off (Hint ;).

Very special

Charming property which feels more spacious inside than the photos may suggest. Memorabilia adds to the personal and unique atmosphere inside and the presence of board games was a real bonus! Incredible location right by the sea

Enjoyed the bach

We only had one night but it was a fun experience for my family. My adult kids loved the history and vintage kiwi items. It was an experience to sleep so close to the ocean.

We had a fabulous time here. Amazing reading the history of this 100yr old home. So many people have left their holiday memories in the guest book here. Super clean, cute, nostalgic and has everything you need. Loved it! 😍

Delightful character bach

We were totally charmed by this quirky but clearly much-loved and well-cared for family bach, with a long history. Despite being cosily small, the kitchen is well-equipped and provided everything we needed for a comfortable night's stay. We enjoyed looking at the many curious collections of kiwiana and other memorabilia on display and reading entries in the visitor's book, which was started many decades ago. Would definitely return, if in the area again.

Quintessential kiwi bach

Charming kiwi bach full of character and amazing kiwiana. Loved being right on the beach...amazing sunsets! Very well equipped kitchen...perfect for our week long stay. Good shower. Plenty of games, puzzles and books to fill in a rainy day if needed. So many things to enjoy in and around Punakaiki...we especially loved visiting the Pancake Rocks several times (including sunset), Punakaiki Cavern (very cool, need a good torch), Truman Track (easy short walk) Pororari River Track/Inland Pack Track 3 hr loop walk (amazing scenery). Also plenty of great West Coast beaches to explore! Our family of four adults thoroughly enjoyed our time here, would definitely return 😊
