Vaughan greeted us and told us the story of his place. This was interesting as the ‘bach’ is unique and full of character. It was an easy walk to the beach for a walk before sunset. Vaughan let us know prior to our arrival to either book for dinner or bring all our own provisions as there is not a local shop. Punakaiki is very quiet but has some beautiful walks. Of course we visited the famous Pancake Rocks. Thanks Vaughan.
