United States“Very peaceful location with a short drive to Punakaiki Rocks. Tidy cottage with good supply in kitchen and great shower water pressure.” 
John United States“Very nice location for a trip up the Northwest coast of South Island. Close to beaches and Pancake Rocks. A good base to head further up the coast to Cape Foulwind where we saw the seals. It actually could take 4 people but we only had 2.”- Thijs
