About this property
DRIFTWOOD INN - PAKAWAU BEACH FRONT
Driftwood Inn is a modern 3 bedroom stucco home with fully equipped kitchen and large sunny open plan living offering amazing views of the sea and across to farewell spit.
The living area has a cosy log fire to keep you warm on those cooler nights or for that lovely winter escape.
With 3 spacious bedrooms and a large bathroom with separate toilet there is plenty of room for up to 8 people.
There is a gently sloping front lawn that takes you straight onto the beach, which is safe for swimming and great for kayaking, paddleboards and Kontiki fishing.
Plenty of off-street parking and dogs are welcome with prior approval.
Driftwood Inn is situated just a short walk from the Old School Cafe and tennis court and only minutes to Collingwood which has a general store, cafes and pubs.
A short drive away is:
Wharaiki Beach - This is by far one of the coolest beaches in New Zealand ! Huge rock formations, huge sand hills, huge caves, cliffs, dunes , white sand and baby seals . The trail is amazing through farms and beautiful hills . You can even meet peacocks in the car park!
Farewell Spit - Farewell Spit is New Zealand’s longest sand spit (25 km) and a nature reserve. It is an internationally-renowned bird sanctuary with over 90 bird species recorded in the area.
Heaphy Track - One of New Zealand’s nine great walks. Many people choose to walk only to the first or second huts on the track instead of walking its entire length. The huts offer gas cooking facilities, open fires, bunks with mattresses, large camping grounds, toilets and running-water facilities. The Heaphy Track, one of New Zealand’s “Great Walks” is now a Great Ride. Mountain Bikers are now permitted by the Department of Conservation to ride the Heaphy Track between May 1 and September 30.
