Perched above the Tasman Sea on New Zealand's spectacular Great Coast Road between Greymouth and Punakaiki, Breakers Boutique Accommodation is an absolute beachfront bed & breakfast where genuine Kiwi hospitality meets spectacular coastal scenery. Every room enjoys uninterrupted Tasman Sea views, creating a peaceful place to relax, revive and re-energise while discovering the magic of the West Coast at your own pace.
Your New Zealand-born hosts, Jan and Stephen, love sharing their wee slice of paradise. Whether it's pointing you towards hidden gems or simply encouraging you to slow down and enjoy the moment, we'll help you experience the West Coast as locals do.
From Greymouth (the south)
Coming from the glacier region or Christchurch, you need to drive straight through Greymouth, staying on SH6. Cross over the Grey River bridge and turn right heading towards Punakaiki and Westport. You will pass through two small villages – Runanga and then Rapahoe. At Rapahoe you hit the Coastal section of the drive – follow for approximately 4kms. Head up the hill with Strongman Mine Memorial lookout at the top. Start your descent, SLOW DOWN, cross over Nine Mile creek bridge and Breakers is directly on the left after crossing the little bridge (make sure you indicate that you are turning!).
From the North
Coming from the Abel Tasman and Marlborough regions, you come through the Upper Buller Gorge to the Inanguha Junction. At the Junction turn left to make sure you stay on State Highway 6 towards Westport and Punakaiki. This is the coastal drive and more scenic route. Breakers is 30kms south of Punakaiki and the Pancake Rocks. After Barrytown, you will start to cross some creeks Fourteen mile creek, Thirteen mile creek then Ten mile creek (one lane bridge on sharp 45 degree bend) – one mile to go. Breakers is on your right just before crossing the little Nine mile creek bridge. If you go over Nine mile creek bridge, you have gone too far. Just before Breakers, on your left-hand side is a sign for Strongman Mine Memorial, this is your landmark to let you know we are just along the road (make sure you indicate that you are turning!).
MINIMUM STAY We accept one night stays but recommend at least two to make the most of our beachfront location and proximity to both Punakaiki and Greymouth for things to see and do.

Breakers Boutique Accommodation is an absolute beachfront bed & breakfast on the Coast Road between Greymouth and Punakaiki on New Zealand’s West Coast. Every room enjoys uninterrupted Tasman Sea views, creating a peaceful place to relax, revive and re-energise.
Your New Zealand-born hosts, Jan and Stephen, love sharing their wee slice of paradise. They’ll happily point you towards hidden gems, scenic walks and unforgettable wildlife encounters, before welcoming you back to Breakers where spectacular sunsets over the Tasman Sea are yours to enjoy without leaving the property.
Many guests discover that one night simply isn’t enough. Staying a little longer allows time to explore, but also time to simply be – to wander the beach, watch the changing light, listen to the waves, gaze at the stars and enjoy those unhurried moments that become the memories people take home.
At Breakers, manaakitanga (hospitality) and kaitiakitanga (guardianship) are part of everyday life. Supporting local conservation, sharing authentic local knowledge and welcoming guests as friends are simply part of who we are.
Relax, revive and re-energise at Breakers, where thoughtful hospitality and a genuine love of the West Coast create an experience you’ll remember long after your journey home.
