Highlight of our South Island Trip!!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 8 Feb 2019via mobile
The Punakaiki Beach Camp was incredible!! Absolutely gorgeous views of the limestone cliffs and beautiful mountains. Additionally, the facilities were nice and neat, and the other guests staying were friendly and welcoming. The staff was outstanding, and very helpful when we were in a time of need (thanks guys!). I definitely recommend making a couple nights here a part of your NZ Getaway.

This campsite is situated between the beach and the dramatic limestone cliffs and sub-tropical rainforest of the Paparoa National Park, so you couldn't ask for a better location! The staff are friendly and the facilities are clean but basic. They also organise paddleboarding and surf trips so it's a good idea to stay for more than one night to take advantage of this.

Only positive comments can be said about this Beach Camp. It is extremely beautiful, and that is only helped by the friendly and very welcoming staff who run it. The scenery is stunning, and the paddleboarding trip up the river was a wonderful way to really connect with nature. The facilities were great, and the cabins were very well priced. Overall, Nathaniel and I found it incredible and 12/10 would come back here again!

This is a beautiful and very well priced campsite. Great facilities (WiFi, free hot showers etc) and lovely personel.
Made the track up the Pororari River. So amazing! The clear water, the birdlife.
They also provide canoing and paddleboarding trips up the river

What a beautiful holiday park right on the beach. Lots of sheltered sites surrounded by stunning native bush. You can sit and watch the sunset on an elevated area (a rock wall protecting the campsite from the sea). Facilities basic, but nice & clean. What a lovely spot!

Room tip: Beach side sites are stunning.
