Punakaiki Accommodation at the Wave Watchers Retreat

Did not want to leave. Thanks for sharing this special place.

We have just spent 3 glorious nights in this slice of paradise! The location is quite simply stunning! Our son made friends with kids from the holiday park a block away and was entertained for hours on the beach.

The gardens are so beautifully maintained and a delightful place to sit, relax and enjoy the views. The place was easily heated with the gas fire place but there are also extra heaters in each room if needed. The electric blankets were greatly appreciated as was the supplied plunger coffee and bottle of NZ wine chilling in the fridge on our arrival!

Lots of board games to keep us entertained in the evenings, along with sky TV. Beds were really comfortable and having 3 bathrooms was a real luxury for us! Great water pressure in the showers also. We cooked dinner in for two of our three nights which was incredibly easy given how well stocked the kitchen is, but we loved having the option of eating out with Punakaiki tavern only a walk away.
We highly recommend this bach and will be booking another stay here soon!

Loved hearing the ocean and even jumped in for an invigorating, morning splash.

We recently had the good luck to stay at this retreat.  What a treat it is.  Absolutely gorgeous 2 bedroom/3 bathroom cottage which is fully self contained.  Fantastic ambiance with a surprise fireplace.  Great comfy beds etc.  Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, spotlessly clean.  Can’t wait to return.

Well done Wavewatchers.
