Activities
Punakaiki, New Zealand, a magic West Coast location, situated on the seaward edge of the Paparoa National Park.
It sits about halfway between Greymouth and Westport, a scenic drive along the Coast Road; about 55 km south of Westport and 45 km north of Greymouth. Flanked by lush native rainforest, crystal clear rivers and the famous Pancake Rocks, just 500m from our front door. But there is more than just the Pancake Rocks and the blowholes.
