This is a classic Kiwi beach bach, loved by one family for many years before Shirley and her husband built a permanent home next door. It is not a fancy apartment or a brand-new place, so if that's what you're after, this is not for you. If you want to stay in a comfortable, well-appointed two-bedroom (two comfortable beds) traditional NZ holiday house in a beautiful and remote part of New Zealand, with the sea not only at your doorstep but a view to the horizon from the kitchen and the deck, then this is a great place to stay. Close to Punakaiki and to the interesting mining sites just north of Westport. There is definitely some surf to be had in this area too, and you can hire boards and get local tips in Westport. Definitely recommend. Shirley also very kindly let us forage in her extensive vegetable garden, but suspect it would be best to have that offered or to ask first. Tip for visitors - if the swell is running, head to PUnakaiki around high tide. The blowholes etc are spectacular when the sea is fierce.
