This place is so cute! Vaughn put in a lot of work. Loved the design and the art made of natural materials. The outside bathtub was really cool. Even though it was a little chilly outside, the bath really warms you up. Bed was very comfy as well. There is WiFi but it’s very weak. Punakaiki is a little remote, so it’s understandable. Staying there feels like a little cocoon. Punakaiki is really small and not many eating choices, that said, it’s maybe a 5 to 10 min drive to get to any of them. Pancake rocks also same distance.

Vaughn greeted me and had a bottle of wine waiting which was awfully nice. The only complaint is that I wish there were more power options (like a multi plug surge protector) near the bed so I could get to my phone easier while charging. Other than that small quibble it was great!
