Point Elizabeth Walkway
Easy walk next to the coast but without much views, at least for the first hour (to the lookout point Elizabeth).
Nice walk in the bush though.

South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Punakaiki ▷
Truman Track
Easy walk (15 minutes), good views, nice beach and even a small waterfall!
Worth going there when the tide is low because when it's high it's impossible to reach the beach - dangerous!

South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Westport ▷
Westport Kiwi Holiday Park & Motels
Unlike other reviews, I found the place really cool.
clean facilities, good and spacious hot showers, basic kitchen with fridge and freezer and some tables outside but sheltered. an enormous lounge with very comfortable sofas, computers and big TV. nice atmosphere. also quite reasonable price - 30$ (27$ with kiwi card member...)

South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Punakaiki ▷
Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blowholes
It's a very touristic place, not worth the importance given to it...
Anyway, it's just a 20 minutes walk so if you are on the way why not to stop!

Tauranga Bay Seal Colony Walk
A very easy walk next to the coast with nice view.
In just 15 minutes we saw lots of seals! Even baby seals!!! It's really worth driving there!

South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Fox Glacier ▷
Fox Glacier TOP 10 Holiday Park
Good rate because of the good facilities but incredibly expensive!!!
40$ for non powered site! If you can avoid sleeping in Fox Glacier your pocket will appreciate it!

Pine Grove Motels
Great place with all the facilities you need!
Toilet, shower and well equipped kitchen for 25$ non powered site. really cofortable if you are planning to do the copland track the day after because it's very close. the only problem: small place not suitable for a lot of people.

Copland Track
Amazing!
Excellent track: good views most of time, not very steepy (at least in the beginning), and in the end great hut and incredible hot pools!!! Really worth doing it! If luck of good weather you will enjoy it twice!

South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Hokitika ▷
Cloud 9 Lifestyle Park
Cheap place not far from Hokitika (20$ per 2 people in a non-powered van).
With toilets, showers and a small kitchen. Everything a little bit dirty... They say they clean every day from 10.30 to 12.00 but we were there for two nights and it looked like they didn't clean in days!
Please note the change of ownership from April 2014. I'm pleased to say that daily cleaning does happen now!

South Island ▷ Wanaka Region ▷ Wanaka Township ▷
Luggate Cricket Club Camping Ground
One of the best campgrounds in NZ!!!
12 km from Wanaka, placed in a cricket field. For just 5$ per person, toilets, hot showers, 2$ laundry, fridge and freezer,... friendly people and great atmosphere! Definately the place where you will feel at home! Just to say the we planned to stay one night and we stayed for a week! One disadvantage: a lot of sandflies...
