Everything!!! Joe and Patrick’s emails, prior to our arrival, were exceptionally helpful. Its location is stunningly beautiful. The interior layout was perfect for the three of us. While we didn’t utilize the kitchen or hot tub, it was nice that they were available. We slept well here due to the quiet location and comfortable beds. The bathroom was wonderful, too.

The Pancake Rocks walking track was fantastic and the Blow Holes were amazing. The Truman Track through native bush was awesome. Cafe reasonable and pub good but expensive food and drinks. Spectacular rock formations all around the area.Raincoats recommended - you never know when it will rain.

We loved our visit to Punakaika rocks and worth a detour. We liked the house except we are too old for having to go up and down steep stairs during the night. We were not warned about this.
We ate at the local scenic hotel and this was reasonable and pleasant

The Pancake Rocks are overwhelming beautiful, almost an alien place on earth. We went there at the end of the day (low tide) and came back in the morning (high tide). The power of the waves was incredible.

What a delightful natural attraction - the pancake rocks are incredible. The garden tavern is very welcoming and the food was good. We stayed in the cute beachfront cabin and could walk to the beach, the pancake rocks, garden tavern and info centre from there. The Pancake Rocks Cafe needs a good shake up, the pancakes were terrible - undercooked and the banana was bad.

Great option for a short one night, or even longer stay.
Great option for a short one night, or even longer stay. The small compound of self contained units was very lovely. Even though all the cottages were occupied, it was peaceful and I could have sat out on the deck for much longer to enjoy the sound of the waves on the beach. We ate at the main hotel/restaurant in a lovely secluded garden. Even though it's right on the main road, the garden gives you a sense of peaceful tranquility. There's not much to do in the area, but for sure a 1 or 2 night stay is perfect here. We had room #10 & it was absolutely perfect

We visited the Rocks along the road - always an interesting visit, and spent a lot of time in Barrytown for a friends wedding.
Always take mozzie spray or insect repellant!
We took our own breakfast items and ate out the rest of the time - the pub at the other end of the village has a good range of food as does the cafe at the Rocks
Great view and proximity to the Tasman Sea. It's a quiet, tranquil place to relax or take walks. It's an easy 600 m. walk to the Pancake Rocks. Our hosts were outstanding, even offering to drive us to the InterCity bus stop when it was raining. The InterCity bus will drop you off or pick you up right near the Cottages on the Main Road if you arrange for it. Be aware that there are no grocery stores in Punakaiki, so bring food supplies with you.
Excellent location in Punakaiki with the beach only metres away from the front door. The pancake rocks are just a short walk up the main road from the accommodation. The room was perfect for the short stay and was lovely and toasty warm during our winter stay. Room was sufficiently big enough and well appointed. Nice water pressure on the shower and the on-site bar and restaurant got a thumbs up from me too!
it was a good location for our visit to Punakaiki. The cottage is quite tired & dated. It is set in beautiful native bush but not walking distance to the village. The only cooking is with a microwave & pop up toaster, the only sink is a tiny sink in the bathroom.
We were disappointed with the Hideaway cottage not having better food preparation & sink for the price.
The Nikau studio was truly a treehouse with a spacious deck high up in the lush West Coast bush. Private location a few minutes drive from Punakaiki. Wekas and birdsong.
Well furnished kitchenette for self-catering.
The Miro room is an accessible room on the ground level- choose the Rimu or Nikau rooms for the treehouse experience.
Would stay here again.

We truly enjoyed the property, i.e., location fantastic, overall property was wonderful, loved the outdoor deck, and it was a great fit for our three adult group.
Check-in & check-out were very easy! We would definitly recommend this property for anyone visiting Punakaiki!
Excellent location if you want to visit Punakaiki or just enjoy a nice spot. All the areas were very cozy and warm. We initially had a double room with shared bathroom but got upgraded to a room with an en suite bathroom, which was a very nice surprise.
An absolute gem! The owner showed us glow worms in the property for free and this retreat place is in the middle of lush forest and has easy access to the beach! Will def be back and will be our go to place now whenever we’re in Punakaiki!
A clean and comfortable, quirky cottage located a few minutes drive from the (limited) facilities in Punakaiki. Simply furnished and equipped but it had everything we needed for a couple of nights’ stay while we explored the area.
I had one night in the little S/C cabin & it was cute; right on beachfront with deck facing the sea; all necessary amenities, clean & comfortable. Friendly staff. Walking distance to local tavern & not that far from Pancake Rocks.
The food and beer garden were great! Especially the evening meal - it was warm and sunny in the garden and the food was pretty amazing. The staff were friendly and engaging.
Short walk to the beach and to the Punakaiki Rocks.
Great location , cabin was very clean and cozy. Very comfortable bed and was lovely to bring the dogs .
Very close to the pancake rocks and the hotel for delicious meals .
Highly recommend. Definitely be back.
A lovely retreat in a superb location. Very close to the Pancake Rocks and you can walk the Truman Track from the house. The house itself is very cool, loved everything about it. Perfect for our family of four.
The hotel is very conveniently located to Pancake Rocks. The food in the restaurant/pub was reasonably priced and quite good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I felt very welcome.
Very modern and comfy cottage. Very clean and tidy. Super fronr view. Just on the beach side. One of the Best shower cabins i have encountered in hotels.
