After a rainy afternoon aand eroute from Fox(washed away bridge on 02nd of January) we had reached "jungle" area of Punakaiki.The Tree house and Havenz were 2 pleasent surpises. The view from the rooms and silence that allows you to hear the wind and the Tasman sea. Homes are correctly equipped and are perfect solution for those to wants to... More

This was probably the most disappointing stay of the trip, luckily only for one night. The room (and bedding) felt damp, there was a pervasive moldy smell. It appeared that a half full bottle of Softsoap should cover all personal toiletry requirements. 

What an amazing spot - a simple, understated but modern little cottage with fantastic views in a fabulous location. Very nicely furnished and well equipped. We wanted somewhere with personality and, while not cheap, we got just what we were looking for. The ruggedness of the West Coast is all around you but you can be safe and warm tucked... More

After driving through the Lewis pass, visiting Cape Foulwind and following the twisty coastal road to Punakaiki, I was ready to stay anywhere. I wasn't expecting the raw beauty of the private beach and wonderful accommodation at Perfect strangers Bach. I was skeptical when told at Punakaiki Canoes that we had already driven past the cottage while traveling down Hwy... More

We stayed for one night on 4 May 2012. The reception was closed in winter but they sent us an email telling us how to get the key on our own. What a great and private spot! The views were fantastic and the nearby Truman Walk led us to a fantastic view of the coastline. There were 4 rooms which... More

We turned up to find that we could not get the accommodation we’d booked, Rimu, as the people who’d stayed in it for the past few days kept wanting to stay on! So, we were upgraded to Rata, a sleep 7. Three bedrooms, large open-plan lounge/kitchen, bathroom. Very clean, very comfortable and the huge deck was great for sitting out... More

I have to say that I am so glad that I booked this accomodation well in advance. The office is slightly away from the accomodation but very easy to find. Just look out for the kayak office before the bridge and check in. The accomodation itself was the best. Great cooking facilities, amazing balcony, very clean, large bed and great... More

We were 8, spleeping in the "Flax Haven Villa" which was very spacios, well decorated and very well equipped with all furnitures, full kitchen, including dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. The jacuzzi outside was great and clean. The views to the sea are stunning and you feel like you are the only person in the area. We had a good... More
