Trails End 

---

Welcome to Trails End — designed by renowned Wellington artists Spaceship Architects, this is a retreat offering an unforgettable stay.
As the name suggests Trails End is situated directly across the road from the Paparoa Track’s exit point, allowing a seamless transition from West Coast forest to Punakaiki luxury. 

Nestled in native flora and designed to frame the limestone cliffs, Trails End is a tranquil home away from home frequented by Kereru and melodious Tui. On a clear day sit back and enjoy the wealth of sunlight captured by this modern, sparkling new home - as the night draws near transforming to striking golden orange hues.

The house is conveniently located close to a welcoming pub/restaurant with just a short walk to the beach, Pororari River and Paparoa Track, plus numerous other walks and attractions either side.

All bedding and linen is provided. Trails End offers two double bedrooms with queen beds and large wardrobes. Enjoy a luxurious bathroom plus fully equipped kitchen and dining/lounge area with heatpump. A sofa bed is also available, should this be convenient to you. The lounge opens out onto a large deck with outdoor seating for your comfort. The house has large windows which take full advantage of the views - Curtains, which would take away from this, are excluded, however the house is very private and warm.

Trails End offers a novel design with access to the rooms via a well-lit enclosed outdoor passage. This runs parallel to the whole building, offering indoor/outdoor flow and the perfect connection to the main deck.
Breakfast is included each day, so you can get out exploring first thing or make the most of a leisurely start.
​
Whether you’ve just come off the track ready for luxury or this is your base while exploring Punakaiki, Trails End is the perfect Punakaiki haven.
