According to Lonely Planet, “The Great Coast Road” is one of the top ten coastal drives in the world. At the midpoint of this spectacular scenic drive, lies the pearl of the Paparoa National Park…..Punakaiki. Wai-iti is located in the heart of this beautiful seaside village on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Designed as a romantic haven, Wai-iti Retreat exudes creative eclectic charm, stimulating your senses, yet soothing your soul. So come on all you starry eyed romantics. Escape and enjoy a complimentary bottle of bubbles in the outdoor bath as you stare in awe at the magnificent limestone cliffs. Snuggle by the warmth of the driftwood fire before being serenaded by the waves crashing on the beach, as you tuck into bed. Wake in the morning to bird song and the fresh invigorating smell of West Coast rainforest. Search the beach for natures “treasure”, take a refreshing dip in the lagoon or explore the natural wonders of Paparoa National Park.

Tea/coffee making facilities, toaster, microwave oven, fridge (ice trays) electric frying pan and BBQ.

Outdoor tub is magic, under the Punakaiki stars! We had so much fun collecting stones on the beach. A beautiful place. Goina & Bo. Absolutely incredible little place. Cozy and warm in winter.
