Punakaiki

Punakaiki or ‘Pancake Rocks’ is one of nature’s great works of art. The incessant forces of wind, waves and rain have slowly eroded the softer rock of this coast, leaving dramatic natural sculptures, with hundreds of horizontal slices cut along their vertical faces, like huge stacks of pancakes. The subtle layers in our Punakaiki charm, reflect the merger of earthy and ocean tones.
