    What a fantastic place to stay for three nights. The house was 'a typical NZ bach' and had everything we needed. It was quiet, spacious, well equipped and close walking distance to everything we came to Punakaiki for. We will definitely be booking in at 'Serenity' in the future.

    Note this is classic 1970's NZ at its best and without the trimmings, so you'll need to bring sheets, blankets and towels.

    Thanks for a wonderful week at your bach, it had everything we needed. Loved the backyard and toy box for our kids and they were delighted with the weka that came to visit morning and evening. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed all Punakaiki had to offer. Very central location for walking everywhere. Thanks

    Convenient location to great walks and beach. Great communication from the host with good recommendations of what to do in the area. We couldnt get the tv to work it seemed to need you to bring your own chromocast. Cleaning could have been a little more thorough. But otherwise a comfortable stay.
