Luxury Adults-only B&B on New Zealand’s West Coast
A secluded retreat for couples near Punakaiki and Westport
Birds Ferry Lodge is a luxury adults only bed-and-breakfast on the northern West Coast of New Zealand, ideally located for exploring Punakaiki Westport and the Kawatiri Coastal Trail
With just two spacious guest suites, Birds Ferry Lodge offers a peaceful hosted retreat for couples who prefer to slow down, stay longer and experience the West Coast rather than simply pass through.
Wake to birdsong and wide open views before enjoying a freshly prepared breakfast.

In the evening, you can choose to enjoy a chef-prepared dinner featuring homegrown and locally sourced ingredients, served in the lodge dining room.

"“The rooms are comfortable and everything you need. But the special feature of this place is the quite magnificent aspect in the wilderness and the ocean with a jacuzzi overlooking it all. So to appreciate this B&B you need to spend a few days here"."
