This is a perfect place for 2 families or 3 couples for a weekend away, exploring the area or the obvious the Paparoa Track. Well equipped with everything you need. Great meals across the road at the Blackball Inn if you're too tired to cook. Loved the outdoor info boards collated by the local historians (very poignant re the Pike River disaster) and we even foraged for some blackberries. All round an excellent destination.
