Absolutely beautiful prefab/kit-aesthetic (but it was all meticulous custom) modern minimalist building in a stunning rainforest setting, with sliding glass walls and ridiculously comfortable beds. The views from bed in the morning are divine. I wish this were my weekend house. Even better that it's a short 5-minute hike to a picturesque beach and a few minutes drive to Pancake Rocks.

This place is fantastic in so many ways: its situation, the garden, the huge rooms in the house, the verandah to sit out on, the massive kitchen, the proximity to the a great place to eat and the beach. We would have loved to spend longer here as it was stop overnight on a road trip. Just being in the house is enough, but there are walks, kayaking and the beach all very close by.

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 😊

An amazing location, with fantastic views. The apartment was built to maximise the view south along the coast, and was very well appointed, fastidiously clean and really well furnished.

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.

Perfect little place to crash out and enjoy the Punakaiki village, well located and it was nice to have the restaurant also near by. Also there’s a cellphone tower right there on the street… so we had a perfect connection and super fast internet (didn’t need the Wi-Fi).

The hotel location and the rooms were all excellent. The breakfast choices for both "full English" and the "continental buffet" were also excellent, served in the dining room overlooking the sea. The staff were extremely helpful, polite and courteous.

The location is superb. The high quality of this accommodation is comparable to any 5*+ hotel. I would recommend to anyone that you should stay at least 2 nights. There's a lot to do and see in the area.
