Wonderful week in Punakaiki as there is so much to do
The property was amazing as it was so close to the beach and offered good swimming for our grandchildren only a few minutes walk to the river The house was spacious and had a huge deck which also extended the living area The fire pit was put to good use and our grandsons spend endless hours collecting driftwood and keeping the fire alive Will certainly return for another stay at the amazing place
