Nigel and Karen's bed and breakfast, Koru, is a lovely stay for anyone visiting the Hokitika or Punakaiki area. Their homestead has a very interesting story and great homemade fixtures which Nigel and Karen explain about, and the bedroom and bathroom are both very clean, warm and comfortable. Nigel and Karen offer complimentary continental breakfast in the morning for all guests and offer a delicious home-cooked dinner for $25 per person. Nigel brews his own beer and provided two bottles of a very nice IPA. We found having a nice home cooked meal after extensive travelling a welcomed change from ordering out at a restaurant or cafe, however there are a couple of options in Punakaiki to eat at if you desire. You can walk to a nearby beach from their home or sit and watch the wonders of nature from their outside patio. We had a great night's stay with Nigel and Karen, and loved meeting them. We would highly recommend their place to anyone.
