It's a small, spread-out settlement primarily defined by its proximity to the iconic Purakaunui Falls and the rugged coastline of Purakaunui Bay. Accommodation options here are typically holiday homes or lodges, offering a tranquil escape. > > > For couples seeking a quiet and secluded retreat, staying in a holiday home near Purakaunui Bay is an excellent choice. You'll have direct access to nature walks, including the short stroll to the Purakaunui Falls, one of the most photographed waterfalls in New Zealand. The bay itself is a lovely spot for a peaceful walk along the beach. > > > Families will also find this area highly suitable. The spaciousness of holiday homes provides ample room, and the natural surroundings offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities like exploring the beach, spotting local wildlife, and enjoying picnics by the falls. ### When is the best time to go to Purakaunui? > During these months, you'll experience average temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for exploring the Purakaunui Falls and the surrounding native bush. The extended daylight hours, with sunsets often after 9 PM, provide ample opportunity for hiking, photography, and enjoying the coastal scenery. This is also when the local wildlife, including various bird species, is most active. > > > For travellers who prefer a quieter experience and don't mind cooler temperatures, the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) are also excellent. Autumn brings beautiful changing foliage, particularly around the falls, and temperatures are still mild enough for outdoor activities. Spring sees the landscape burst into bloom, and you might spot newborn lambs in the nearby paddocks. ### Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia? ### How can I save on a Purakaunui hotel booking with Expedia? ### How much is the nightly rate at a Purakaunui hotel? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Lodging - Flights - Packages - More ways to book - [Ashley Downs Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Ashley-Downs-Hotels.d692482623845629952.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Balclutha Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Balclutha-Hotels.d6344454.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Caberfeidh Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Caberfeidh-Hotels.d6353154.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Catlins Forest Park Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Catlins-Forest-Park-Hotels.d6353156.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Chaslands Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Chaslands-Hotels.d6344459.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Conical Hill Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Conical-Hill-Hotels.d553248634110045111.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Crichton Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Crichton-Hotels.d692482941575954432.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Clutha District Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Clutha-District.d553248635975331945.Hotel-Destinations) - [Glenledi Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Glenledi-Hotels.d692483150139817984.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Glenore Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Glenore-Hotels.d692483158276673536.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hinahina Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Hinahina-Hotels.d6353151.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Kaitangata Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaitangata-Hotels.d553248635926198080.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Lgbt Friendly Hotels in Kaka Point ](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaka-Point-Hotels-LGBT-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6196345-tLGBTFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Kaka Point Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaka-Point-Hotels.d6196345.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Katea Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Katea-Hotels.d692483276198576128.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Kononi Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Kononi-Hotels.d553248635929513761.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Lawrence Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Lawrence-Hotels.d6357295.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Milburn Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Milburn-Hotels.d553248635926198053.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Milton Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Hotels.d6129054.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hostels in New Haven ](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Haven-Hostels.d6361430-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [New Haven Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Haven-Hotels.d6361430.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near Nugget Point Lighthouse ](https://www.expedia.ca/Nugget-Point-Lighthouse-Hotels.0-l6113118-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Owaka Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Owaka-Hotels.d6196349.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Papatowai Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Papatowai-Hotels.d3000389702.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Paretai Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Paretai-Hotels.d692486889232859136.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Pounawea Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Pounawea-Hotels.d553248635926198408.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near St. Patrick's Catholic Church ](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Patricks-Catholic-Church-Hotels.0-l553248622006898166-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Summer Hill Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Summer-Hill-Hotels.d692482432173039616.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Tarara Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Tarara-Hotels.d692485074581913600.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Toko Mouth Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Toko-Mouth-Hotels.d692486526422708224.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Tuapeka Mouth Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Tuapeka-Mouth-Hotels.d692485295425941504.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Waihola Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihola-Hotels.d553248635926198276.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Flights to Kaka Point ](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheap-Flights-To-Kaka-Point.d6196345.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Visit Chaslands ](https://www.expedia.ca/Chaslands.dx6344459) - [Visit Hinahina ](https://www.expedia.ca/Hinahina.dx6353151) - [Visit Kaka Point ](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaka-Point.dx6196345) - [Visit Owaka ](https://www.expedia.ca/Owaka.dx6196349) - [Book Hotels in Purakaunui on Expedia.co.nz ](https://www.expedia.co.nz/Purakaunui-Hotels.d6353152.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels and earn double points when you book on the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
