Punakaiki


We stayed in the cutest, most romantic place to date –a jungle hut called “The Hideaway” at Te Nikau resort a few short and jungly steps from a private beach. 

"The Hideaway" at Te Nikau Resort


This place is very close to the Pancake rocks and blowholes and a sweet cavern we were surprised to find on the side of the road.

This place is also home to (F’ing aggreesive) Weka Bird. Like a cross between a chicken, a hawk and a crow that cannot fly. They want your food… and your toes, and will eat the rubber off your car –wild beasts, those.

The Tasman sea was in a wild frenzy the whole time we were here but it was b-e-a-u-tiful!

The private beach

There were two huge spiders outside our cabin -as big as the meaty part of your hand. Joh even thought they were a bit much and closed the window to avoid any potential conflict with these masters of the bush.

It looks small here, but it was NOT!!
