Paparoa National Park Visitor Centre

The Paparoa National Park Visitor Centre, located on SH 6 opposite the entrance to the 'pancake rocks and blowholes' walkway, is open every day. The helpful team of staff will assist you plan your day, with information on activities, accommodation and what to see while you are here. They also have a wide range of conservation retail products too, to keep travellers on the right track!

Paparoa packs a punch for its size and has great variety…famous for its "Pancake Rock" on Dolomite Point. These limestone rocks have eroded and formed a pattern, which make them look like a stack of pancakes. This unique weathered rock formation lends itself to water spouting or blowholes from the seas tides and waves in strong weather conditions.
