Evolve New Zealand Punakaiki Charm 

Design inspiration: A heavily eroded limestone area made famous by the 'Pancake' Rocks where 'pancake' layering of the limestone (created by immense pressure on alternating hard and soft layers of marine creatures and plant sediments) has created a renowned landmark framed against the blue of the Pacific Ocean and the snow capped Southern Alps.  Flecked earthy tones unite perfectly with sea blues and purples; showcasing these rocks natural bond with the wild and unpredictable sea.

Punakaiki is the gateway to the dramatic limestone country of the Paparoa National Park. It lies halfway between Greymouth and Westport on one of the most spectacular coastal highways in New Zealand.

The Punakaiki township has a Department of Conservation visitor centre, café and tearooms, craft shop and plenty of car parking. The surrounding area is scattered with accommodation - upmarket hotel apartments, boutique bed & breakfasts, self-catering motel units, a campervan and camping ground, and backpacker accommodation.Tourism activities include canoe adventures, horse trekking, caving and guided tours to name just a few. Punakaiki has many colourful local crafts people - jewellers, carvers, painters and potters.

Within a few minutes drive of the Punakaiki township are many walks for various fitness levels - take a 10 minute stroll along the beach or equip yourself for a overnight trip into the heart of the National Park.

The Pancake Rocks that Punakaiki is famous for, are limestone formations that began forming 30 million years ago, when lime-rich fragments of dead marine creatures were deposited on the seabed, then overlaid by weaker layers of soft mud and clay.
