Tourist Guide

Between Greymouth and Hokitika you can stop at the pancake rocks and blowholes. Really cool rock formation, now thought to be carved out by the wind

Awesome lime stone formations from over 30 million years ago - Pancake Rocks
The west coast of New Zealand's South Island has been voted one of the top 10 coastal drives in the world by Lonely Planet. Was stunning! Along the way you stop at the pancake rocks and blowholes. Really cool rock formation, now thought to be carved out by the wind. There is a petrel colony near here depending on the season
This place is magical! The Pancake rocks and blowholes of Punakaiki. Quick stopover before my next meeting #westcoastNZ #LifeAtExpedia

We stayed in a cabin, which was small but just fine. It’s right next to the beach, and there is a central area for cooking, showers and hanging out. A really nice vibe.
