Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blowholes
The rocks are nice but it was very crowded.
Also we missed high tide (it was at 8.30am in the beginning of March). This might have been a nice extra to the sight.

South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Abel Tasman ▷
Split Apple Rock beach access track
Walk not spectacular but nice quiet beach with Split Apple Rock view.
You can also swim there.

South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Punakaiki ▷
Fox River Caves and Ballroom Overhang walk
Rewarding at the end.
A big cave out of nowhere in which you can go into for a few metres. However, look out for the slippery rocks.

Escape Campervan Rentals
Good information and welcome at pickup of the van, discounts (e.g for Milford Sound).
Small defects we noticed when driving (e.g air con, windshield wipers not working properly).
Thanks for your review Helena! Glad we looked after you - sorry to hear you noticed some items while on the road. We do have a comprehensive grooming/check schedule that each van goes through between hires, perhaps we missed the mark here.
Hope you had a great trip in NZ :-)
Cheers
