Lucinda

Incredible stay in an architectural gem, a true hidden treasure in the forest. Inspired build that made us feel at one in nature. Gorgeous home with a well equipped kitchen, extremely comfortable bedding and views for days. Made to feel like we were sleeping in the tree tops! Private yet easy to access and find. Wood fireplace at the heart of the home kept everything warm and cosy. Cooking here at night was a real treat! Short (beautiful) stroll to incredible beach and only a couple of minutes drive from pancake rocks. Highly recommend!

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 perfectHelenUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0

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

- From SAR 390.51 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 264 reviewsRight on the beach. We stayed in sunset cottage, a separate unit next to the shared laundry ( v little noise from it) with it's own private bathroom, patio, garden, view of the ocean, dining table and kitchenette. You are welcome to use the fully fitted shared kitchen to cook and lounge as well. The atmosphere is so welcoming. Ten mins walk to the punakaiki rocks, five mins walk to the cavern, both well worth it. We had sunshine! Great one night stay, thank you!KatyUnited Kingdom
- From SAR 608.74 per night8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 284 reviewsGreat 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.
Jean and BruceUnited States - From SAR 413.48 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 922 reviewsWell located at the south end of picturesque Punakaiki village. The motel was between the limestone cliffs and the beach and walking distance to the Pancake Rocks. There was a small kitchenette and bathroom. The beds were OK and it was quiet. There is access to the beach for sunsets but it's not a swimming beach. The shower system was a bit confusing at first. The motel has an outdoor picnic table and seating on the rock sea wall.JillUnited States
- From SAR 803.99 per night9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 103 reviewsWe stayed here the night after we finished the Paparoa Great Walk. A short 10 minute drive along the coast from Punakaiki. Stunning views and the spa pool was just lovely. Has everything you need -but remember to bring your own food/alcohol as nothing nearby. We ate in Punakaiki and was great. A fantastic stay -thank you so much! We’ll be back for longer than one night next time.DavidNew Zealand
- From SAR 272.09 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 272 reviewsWe rented one of the cabins and found it very small. The deck was good but remember your sand fly spray they were very thick. The beach is beautiful and great place to watch the sunset. There are some great hikes in the area that can be accessed from the resort. BBQ worked well. I liked that they supplied cooking pots, utensils and dishes for your use while staying there.
IvanCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0Very goodRated very good· 427 reviewsThe 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. .LisaNew Zealand
