We really enjoyed our stay at Punga Cove. We were hiking the QC trail and were happy to stay the night in such lovely place. The views are just incredible. The restaurant was also good with very friendly staff.

Superb location - less than a couple minutes to walk to the ferry terminals.
It's an older character property currently undergoing some renovations - and I can already see what and where the improvements are being made.
E.g., bathroom cleanliness, towels, amenities were all better than what I expected.
The staff were great all around.

What a fabulous hideaway Ngahere Hou is!! If you're after a rustic glamping experience, then this is perfect.
We loved the garden setting, the views into Kenepuru Sound, the outdoor shower area (sadly didn't get to try the shower as we availed ourselves the wood-fired hot tub - sooo good!), and the separate kitchen / dining hut.
After a long day of hiking, we were really happy to sit in the sunny kitchen hut and just relax with a cup of tea. Super happy we had the whole area to ourselves (to be honest, I wouldn't want to share this area with other guests who may be staying in the yurt). Would definitely have liked to stay an extra night and enjoy this beautiful spot for a while longer.
Breakfast the next morning was fantastic, with gluten-free bread (!!!), croissants (not gf but the husband says they were very good), bacon, eggs, orange juice, and a ton of cereal options in the cupboard!
The only (slight) negative for me would be that I found the bed a bit too soft but the husband thought it was great and found it very comfy.
If you're hiking to Ngahere Hou from the Queen Charlotte Track: it's in a perfect position distance-wise between Punga Cove and Mistletoe Bay (what we did). It's about a half hour off the track, down the slope into Kenepuru Sound. The climb up the next morning was a killer, you do need to be reasonably fit but after that, the rest of the day/trek will feel almost easy!
