My partner and I have just finished up a stay at the Woodpecker Bay Bach and we absolutely loved it! Everything is just as the photo’s and description make it out to be. Daniel was a great host and although we never met him he phoned and checked in with us to make sure everything was going well; he was also very quick to respond to any queries we had, especially one late on our first night. The surrounding area is absolutely stunning and is made better by the fact that its right on the water and you can walk out to the nearby rocks to truly appreciate the view. We only stayed two nights but it really isn’t long enough to fit in all the walks and sites around the Charleston and Punakaiki areas, my partner is already planning her next visit to New Zealand just to revisit the Bach. We would certainly not hesitate in recommending the Bach to any other visitors.
