The cosy Driftwood Cottage situated directly opposite the Paparoa Track exit!

8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (14)
"Photos are misleading as it makes it look like you are in open spaces with scenic views and nothing around... in reality you are close to a busy road and houses on every side. The water pressure was absolutely terrible and I didn't receive instructions on how to find my destination, codes, keys etc... I had to follow it up myself which was stressful."
