Did you know?
The best time for the blowholes to perform at their best at Punakaiki Rocks is for the following to be at optimum.

At the peak of high tide, and an on-shore wind blowing the waves into shore. If both of those things are happening you should get a good show.

Bed & breakfasts in Hokitika

Awatuna Homestead

Awatuna Homestead, on the West Coast of the Southern Alps (Te Tai O Poutini), offers much more than just accommodation. It is really an escape to an untouched world where you can relax amidst a peaceful setting yet with a touch of homely elegance.

Your hosts, the Te Räkau family - Pauline, Hëmi, Eleanor and Peter - will provide a hospitality that is in keeping with the best and truest Awatuna traditions.

Set in a valley that stretches from the foothills of the Southern Alps to the Tasman Sea, the Homestead enjoys the peace and quiet of country accommodation whilst being only 10 minutes from the modern convenience and facilities of nearby Hokitika.

Wide verandahs embrace the Homestead, inviting you to pause and sit in comfort, enjoying the peaceful surroundings of the gardens featuring native plants, a traditional paa harakeke (cultural flax garden), mature exotic trees and shrubs. The peaceful, private river frontage that borders the property, is home to native birds and fish.

The three guest rooms have central heating and ensuites. The Goldsborough Room has a super king bed or twin beds and spa bath.

Our guest apartment is a self contained, centrally heated apartment within the Homestead complex, with its own private access. It features a queen room, a twin room with king single and single bed, one private bathroom, lounge with comfortable double sofa bed, self-catering kitchen and exclusive exterior deck with sea views. Apartment guests are offered the same activities as guests in the Homestead.
