Punakaiki, West Coast, New Zealand

Te Nikau Retreat, Punakaiki, from above

The Te Nikau Retreat is nestled in the native West Coast Nikau-forest on the foot of the Paparoa mountain range. Surrounded by nature it’s the perfect location to discover Punakaiki, the Pancake Rocks and Blowholes and the stunning walks in the Paparoa National Park.

We have a wide range of accommodation options - suitable for families, couples, individual travelers and backpackers.

A private track through lush, green bush leads to the Truman track and the breathtaking coastline, the West coast is famous for.

Stay a few days and relax, enjoy and take part in the many activities and attractions this fantastic part of New Zealand is renowned for.

We’re also looking very much forward to welcoming hikers and bikers that come from or going to the Paparoa Great Walk.
