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.
