Thank you Clare for sharing your beautiful home with us. This trip was a birthday present for my husband, he wanted to stay somewhere surrounded by nature and mountains and your home was absolutely perfect for us. We really enjoyed exploring the walks around the lake and coming back to relax with a cuppa by the fireplace. Everything was just perfect! Thank you again for having us, we will definitely be back for more :)
The Bach was tidy and clean and had everything we needed. Very handy location, with the beach, the lost Gypsy and Peake’s kitchen just down the road, and central to all of the Catlins.
What can I Say, we felt thoroughly pampered during our time at this bach! The location was splendid, the appartment was spacious and so comfortable! We were made to feel so welcome by our host Lauren!
It was wonderful to meet all the animals there too! The highland cattle were so special!
We would love to stay here again, thank you Lauren!
Charming kiwi bach full of character and amazing kiwiana. Loved being right on the beach...amazing sunsets!
Very well equipped kitchen...perfect for our week long stay.
Good shower. Plenty of games, puzzles and books to fill in a rainy day if needed. So many things to enjoy in and around Punakaiki...we especially loved visiting the Pancake Rocks several times (including sunset), Punakaiki Cavern (very cool, need a good torch), Truman Track (easy short walk) Pororari River Track/Inland Pack Track 3 hr loop walk (amazing scenery). Also plenty of great West Coast beaches to explore! Our family of four adults thoroughly enjoyed our time here, would definitely return 😊
