It's coming up a year since we moved 2x self contained cabins onto Beach Camp soil and they have made their mark on our guests. 🏠

The unit is fully self contained, meaning you have your own wee kitchen and bathroom for private use. There's a small living space with a couch and queen bed, making it the perfect accommodation option for couples and those wanting to avoid a midnight run to the bathroom facilities. πŸ˜‰πŸ‘Ÿ

Our cliffview cabins have slider windows, making them a great choice for both the colder and warmer months here at Beach Camp.β„οΈβ˜€οΈ

Let us know if you've stayed in these cabins before and if you (like many others) found this to be one of the best showers you've had! πŸ›

We have a mix of powered and unpowered sites at beach camp and the views change too!

From beach to bush to cliff to riverside, there is a reason our reviews often say this is one of the best and most beautiful campgrounds in New Zealand.πŸ•

These are some of the hot spots, each one of these are on different sides of camp, offering a slightly different experience from the next.

Which spot would you pick?
Do you have a favourite site at our beach camp? πŸ€”

As we read through our latest reviews it's clear just how special beach camp is to those who get to experience it.πŸ•πŸ„β€β™‚οΈ

Punakaiki is paradise and we are fortunate enough to be able to live and breathe it.

Cheers Douglas for your fantastic feedback!

Our riverside cabins are cozy, warm, and each with their own private deck.

Only recommended for guests who enjoy slow mornings, uninterrupted peace and beautiful views. πŸ˜‰

Guess who's back flipping patties? 🐟

Our whitebait crew has rolled back into beach camp and we're stoked!πŸ•πŸ„β€β™‚οΈ

We get asked about these whitebait patties and where to find them, often!

It's been a bit of a rough season for the whitebaiters so don't wait too long to get your hands on one of these delicious kiwi treats.πŸ˜‹

Available in our beach camp from Thursday 6th November 5-7pm or on request when Pete's in camp.

Have you tried them?

Our new office shop is stocked and ready for our guests. πŸ₯«πŸ˜

Not only do we stock groceries we know our campers need on hand (and often forget),
we stock crafts and products made from locals in our community and the wider West Coast.πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈπŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ

You've asked, we've listened, and our list of goodies keeps on growing!

Do you know how close we are to the beach?

Well we counted and it's around 15 steps from our powered and unpowered sites.

From camp to coast in 15 steps, not even enough time to finish your coffee πŸ•πŸŒ΄πŸ„β€β™‚οΈπŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ

Who needs an alarm when you have a Tūi⏰️

These beauties are known for their aggressive and territorial behaviour which they use to defend food sources.

You'll find them around our camp. Their hobbies include chasing other birds, elaborate display fights and using their vocals. 🎢

They click, cackle and make bell bird like notes. Does the TΕ«i call remind you of anything?
