Punakaiki is a coastal village on the West Coast, with accommodation and holiday homes beside Paparoa National Park and the Pancake Rocks.
At Dolomite Point the limestone is layered like a stack of pancakes, and at high tide in a big swell the blowholes throw spray up through the rock. The Pororari and Punakaiki rivers run inland through gorges lined with nīkau palms, and the Paparoa Track, one of the Great Walks, finishes near the village. Places to stay here include baches and cottages set between the bush and the surf, with Fox River and Te Miko close by.
