Scenic Hotel Punakaiki

8/10 Good

"Ocean view room and 10 min walk to Pancake Rock National Park."

Gorgeous Character Bach

10/10 Excellent

"What a brilliant Bach. Beautiful location and full of history inside (it has been a bach since the 1920s - even the cups, plates, mugs and glasses are historical). Right on the beachfront (you can really hear the waves roar at night), a couple of minutes from the local pub, 5 mins walk from the blowholes and pororari river walk, other major walks a 5-15 drive . Fast chargers just 2 minutes away at Dolomite point for those with electric cars. High recommended. We will be staying again when we can."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Totara Flat?

The best time to visit Totara Flat is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is generally warmer and drier.During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities. The longer daylight hours mean more time to explore the natural beauty of the West Coast, from hiking trails to river adventures. This is particularly good for families looking to make the most of their visit without the worry of frequent rain.For those who prefer a quieter experience and don't mind cooler temperatures, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) also offer good opportunities. You'll find fewer crowds and the landscape is often spectacular with spring blooms or autumn colours. While there's a higher chance of rain, the West Coast's weather can be unpredictable at any time of year, so being prepared for all conditions is always a good idea.
