Punakaiki village is situated between Greymouth and Westport on State Highway 6 (about a 30-minute drive from each). Punakaiki, home of the famous Pancake Rocks and Paparoa National Park, is a nature lover's paradise. Nestled between the stunning temperate rainforest unique to the West Coast and the untamed Tasman Sea, there are several walking and cycling tracks, beaches and bays to visit, and rivers to explore and dip in. Just a 3.5-hour drive from Christchurch, Punakaiki is the perfect location for a quick weekend getaway.

This four-star Punakaiki hotel was previously known as the Ocean View Retreat and offers 63 premium guest rooms. With stunning views of the Tasman Sea, Punakaiki Beach, and the surrounding forest, this is the perfect accommodation for your Punakaiki getaway.
