Bach 55

This modern three bedroom bach is a hop, skip and a jump from the Pororari River. It has a spacious deck with outdoor furniture so you can enjoy the spectacular 360 degree views of the bluffs, the river and the sea. Just 200 metres from Bullock Creek Road and one kilometre from Truman Track, you are within walking distance of some of the West Coast's best nature walks. We ask that you please not smoke anywhere on the premises as it destroys the clean, natural beauty of the Paparoa National Park.
