Punakaiki Accommodation at the Wave Watchers Retreat

Wave Watchers Retreat is located in Punakaiki Village on a private beachfront site in the Paparoa National Park.
It is a self-catering 2 bedroom/3 bathroom luxury beach cottage for one or two couples.

The cottage is surrounded by flowering gardens and outside decking with stunning coastal views.

The full kitchen has all the major appliances you’ll need for quick breakfasts or a special sit-down meal: oven, range, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator.

You’ll find plates, glasses, silverware, and more for setting the Rimu wood dining table. You’ll be able to do as much or as little in the kitchen as you’d like while on vacation. And if you want to have a cookout, there is a gas BBQ and outside table and chairs – just grab some steaks and a glass of wine and enjoy the ocean and sunset views!

A washer and dryer in the small laundry room eliminates worry about packing enough clean clothes. Laundry soap is provided.

Such a great place

We had a great time, very stormy and sunny also. This is such a great place, we hope to come back again. Thanks. To all that follow, we hope that you have a great time too.

Fantastic property right on the beach

Fantastic property right on the beach. Private garden/grounds and excellently appointed with everything you might need. Only 5 mins walk to Punakaiki Rocks and even closer to lovely little pub/restaurant.

This was the stand-out property from our 4 week north/south island tour and I would 100% recommend. I can’t imagine why anyone would stay in Greymouth when this jewel of a place is less than an hour’s drive along a magnificent coastline. Do however collect groceries etc. in Greymouth before you set off to the house.
