Wave Watchers Retreat is located in the Punakaiki Village on a private beachfront site in the Paparoa National Park.

Tucked into 1600sqm of native New Zealand forest, this stunning architecturally designed cabin is the winner of multiple architectural awards - and a luxurious hidden gem like no other.

Fox Hut is set on a coastal clifftop property on the famous Great Coast Highway, halfway between Greymouth and Westport and just a seven-minute drive from Punakaiki (site of the 'Pancake Rocks').
