Right next to the surf, with a short stroll to the blowhole rocks and to eating options. The property is well equipped, elegantly furnished, and very clean.

A wonderful overnight in Punakaiki

The house worked out really well for our needs and was very well situated right near the beach. The view was great! The house was very nicely furnished and had just about everything we needed in terms of kitchen utensils, etc. I'd highly recommend this rental.

Beautiful spot overlooking the sea at Punakaiki

Seascapes is just that - a lovely house with a private garden overlooking the sea. It is, though, a bit tired and could do with a refresh. For the price paid, it could do with two full bathrooms and a dishwasher

Amazing stay

Our group of friends loved our stay here! Many of us hadn't been to Punakaiki before and all love it now. The house is a perfect location with lots of different swimming spots, cave to explore, rivers, beach, pub, cafe, and blowholes all in walking distance. Amazing views of the ocean from the upstairs lounge, private backyard surrounded by bush with native birds, and little pathway to the beach. The house was clean and comfortable. We also appreciated that the kitchen was well equipped with plenty of plates, glasses, pots/pans etc for our group.

Outstanding views & location. Comfortable & clean.

Outstanding views & a light, bright upstairs living area. Comfortable lounge furniture & beds. Quirky layout with two of the bedrooms in an annex that requires going outside & then back inside to access the bathroom/toilet. The space & location more than made up for this inconvenience. Loved it!

Hi Matt, Thanks for your review. Unfortunately we were not made aware that you would be arriving at 3am. For this reason we were not available to check you in. In future if arriving at such a time always good to let host know. Regards Punakaiki team

很有味道的一套房子，很原始、风景很美 阳光很好，可以朋友们一起吃着晚餐喝着酒看日落🌄，离千层岩很近 房子分两套，外面那套美中不足的就是缺一个卫生间，而且晚上出来了很多沙蝇，朋友被咬了、 其他都很好

Amazing location with incredible views

This was such a brilliant holiday home in so many ways. Apart from the obvious gorgeous views of the sea and backdrop of the rocks, the upstairs living area was used to it's fullest with large wide windows to enjoy these views. The separate cottage just beside the main house was perfect for us as it housed a small family with a young baby and gave us all a bit of space. The private back yard surrounded by bush is part of the charm and access to the beach, pancake rocks and bush walks makes this the perfect getaway.

Perfect for us

The property has the feel of a New Zealaad crib/bach while at the same time having all the mod cons. All five of us (adults) thoroughly enoyed our stay here and would all have liked to have stayed a few more days. We will all definitely consider booking it again when we are back in this part of the country
