When travelling through the idyllic West Coast, Awatuna Homestead is located just 15 minutes north of Hokitika and is an ideal location to break your journey whichever direction you are travelling in. Spend a couple of nights to enjoy a quiet walk along the intriguing local beach; meander through the Homestead gardens; or, if feeling more energetic, soak up nature and history at the Goldsborough walks nearby (search for glow-worms there at night). The renowned Pancakes Rocks and Hokitika Gorge are with-in an hour’s drive. At the Homestead, we aim to provide a restful, comfortable and friendly environment where the brilliant night stars can only be extinguished by clouds in the sky, and nothing exists but this moment in time.
