Rain forest apartment.

RosalieRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We only stayed here for one night on our journey up the coast, but it was easy to find, very quiet and a spacious apartment. We walked to Pancake rock (which was interesting) then walked the Pororari river track, which was good and not crowded. The people in the information centre were very helpful. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to go on the beach but it looked nice.

Sunny warm Haven

JonRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Super suite right next to Paparoa. I loved being on the top floor, surrounded by palm trees, birdsong, and the sound of the ocean. It is possible to do an inspired hiking loop without driving by walking down to Paparoa track, cutting south in the inland track, and circling back to the cottage. This will take you past the caverns, pancake rocks, and some of the best hiking around. I felt the suite was very cozy and had a warm feeling.

The spacious lounge features comfortable seating arrangements with black armchairs adorned with patterned pillows. A large round coffee table is centered, while a modern kitchen and dining area are visible in the background, enhanced by natural light from the windows.

We had a really lovely time at Kelly’s place! Having just finished the Paparoa Great Walk it was the perfect place to recharge and relax. Very comfortable and cosy. Kelly was an incredibly generous host and left us lots of yummy treats and even lit the fire for us so the place was warm when we arrived! We definitely recommend staying at Kelly’s home.
