Finding Breakers Boutique Accommodation
Updated: Sep 1
Tucked along the rugged coastline north of Greymouth, Breakers Boutique Accommodation offers guests a true West Coast escape overlooking the Tasman Sea. Located on the iconic Great Coast Road between Greymouth and Punakaiki, the journey to Breakers is all part of the experience.
Driving from Greymouth
From central Greymouth, head north on State Highway 6 toward Punakaiki and Westport. Cross the Grey River bridge and continue through the small coastal communities of Runanga and Rapahoe.
As you leave Rapahoe, the coastline begins to open up beside you, revealing dramatic sea views, native bush, and rugged West Coast scenery. Continue along the coast road for approximately 14 kilometres from Greymouth.
You will pass the Strongman Mine Memorial lookout before beginning the descent toward Nine Mile Creek. Breakers Boutique Accommodation is located on the left-hand side of the highway just after crossing the small bridge at Nine Mile Creek.

Arriving on the Coast
The drive to Breakers Boutique Accommodation is often guests’ first introduction to the wild beauty of Te Tai o Poutini, the West Coast. Towering cliffs, crashing surf, native rainforest, and sweeping Tasman Sea views line the route north from Greymouth.
Many travellers arrive expecting only a quick stop, only to discover there is far more to explore than they first imagined. Hidden beaches, limestone formations, rainforest walks, photography locations, pounamu country, and authentic local hospitality all sit within easy reach of Breakers.
Once you arrive, Jan and Stephen are always happy to help guests discover the hidden gems of the Coast and make the most of their stay.
