Driftwood Cottage
Driftwood cottage is a beautiful house backing onto impressive limestone cliffs just 5 minutes to the beach. Across the road from the Cottage is the fantastic Paparoa National Park making this the perfect base to explore the walks around the area. Only 1km south of the Cottage you will find the famous Pancake rocks, best seen at high tide the Pancake rocks and blowholes are a sight not to miss!
We are a family business managing the campsite in Punakaiki, we also manage two lovely houses in the Punakaiki township. We can offer great advice on places to explore during you time in our little paradise!
Punakaiki is a lovely small town right on the beach! It really is a sub tropical paradise. There are restaurants close by and activity operators offering a range of great activities to do during your time here.
