When we first entered the garden we were pleasantly surprised how spacious it was. You enjoy real privacy in the gatden en well equiped large kitchen. At night when the garden lights are on it is really enjoyable to use sauna and listen to the sounds coming from sea. Very romantic.

We had a fantastic stay here - it was absolutely perfect! The location is incredible, very easy to find and great instructions from Jed. Well equipped with everything you might need (including a portacot) and it was nice and warm from the heat pump when we arrived. The hot tub was a real treat and made for such a special stay, our 2 year old loved looking at the stars from it! I highly recommend this property to anyone, well worth the stay and we would definitely come back 😊

You can hear the ocean sitting on the balcony and hear Kiwi birds at night. Lovely interior. Great staff: the people next door played loud music late in the evening and I couldn not talk to them. (This is a nature getaway, in a DOC area, not a party location). But Robert and Amanda took care and the music stopped so that I could sleep. They even inquired the next day how I felt! Thanks.

Punakaiki is a beautiful place.

Punakaiki is a beautiful place. There are lots of things to see and do such as beach fun, bush walks, enjoying spectacular views, sunsets, Dolomite point with pancake rocks and blowholes especially at high tide. Visitors Centre is highly recommended.

The Pancake Rocks is a must to see.

The Pancake Rocks is a must to see. Pathways and viewing stations wonderfully laid out with the stone walls and the natural landscaping. Fantastic views from so many angles and advantage points. The day we were there the sea was coming in strong and fierce so we saw the holes blow and the sea water spraying up.

The perfect location for a quiet, peaceful stay right in the middle of the Nikau Forest!. The beds were comfy and there was everything you needed in the kitchen. We stayed in Ruru Lodge, plenty of room for me and my friend in our bedroom. A good size lodge which is a little tired, the bathrooms need an upgrade. Really good value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Nature at its best!

Nature at its best! We visited the Pancake Rocks twice, once at low tide and once at high tide, to see the contrast. It took us about 45 minutes each time but it was worth it to us. Wish we could come back in a million years to see what has disappeared due to erosion, earthquakes, etc. There is also a very good restaurant--Punakaiki Rocks--in the village, which has interesting decorations and tasty food.

Well worth a visit.

Well worth a visit. Punakaiki rocks is a must to see. free parking and no entrance fees. The walk is easy with only a few rock stairs to climb towards the end. The views are simply stunning. We could also see dolphins.

Lovely little seaside town, with fascinating pancake rocks and spectacular coastal scenery. Wonderful walks up into the country behind - particularly along the river valleys/gorges. Rather isolated, with no grocery shops or fuel available. The roads in and out are very narrow, winding and prone to blockage due to landslip. Plan ahead for disruption. There is a pub with good meals (at a price), and the cafe beside the visitor centre was a good breakfast spot.

What a wonderful hotel in an amazing location. The booking.com description undersells what it's really like. Worth the extra money for a beach front room. Great quality meals and lovely attentive staff always on hand and pleased to help. I travel light and self laundry on site facilities were just what I wanted. Punakaiki rocks are a short distance away and a quality attraction not to be missed. Thoroughly recommend staying at this excellent hotel.
