overview

YHA Punakaiki Te Nikau Retreat offers a series of unique cabins scattered throughout native forest for a sense of privacy, tranquility and escapism. These character lodges include comforts like WiFi, fully-equipped kitchens, homemade bread and chocolate brownies for sale, and of course, a chorus of native birds from the surrounding bush.
