Summary: We loved this property. It was so cosy and comfortable with ocean views which can be seen from the beds! The kitchen is well kitted out so easy to cook a meal. A great place to stay in any season.

Summary: This is a cute wee cottage in an amazing location. It has been restored with love and care and the garden is charming. We were disappointed with the state of the lounge suite - dirty and smelly, the owner says he intends to clean or replace it. We would also like to warn fellow Cantabrians who experienced the earthquakes that the cottage shakes sharply at high tide when the waves crash against the sea wall, we found this quite disturbing.

Summary: Wave watchers is a gorgeous bach which allows you to take in all that stunning punakaiki has to offer. Amazing views of the wild sea viewable from all rooms in the bach & the wild native bush & cliffs from the deck. A beautiful native garden to wander. The ambience of the gas fire is lovely to enjoy. Looking forward to our next stay!
