"Lovely clean warm place to stay."

Scenic Hotel Punakaiki

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very helpful staff and great view of the sunset. Beds were comfortable. Great stay"

Te Nikau Retreat - Hostel

8/10 Good

"We were late but check in was very simple and easy. Highlight of this accommodation is it's location, it's right in native bush and close to a beautiful beach. Haven't seen any staff around so can't say much about that"

Aurum Retreat - Boutique Stay in Reefton's

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Aurum Retreat. A delightful cottage with a charming garden and plenty of thoughtful little touches. It rained the whole time we were there, but we stayed toasty in front of the fire. The kitchen was well equipped and it really felt like a home away from home. Perfect for families. We will be back (when it's less likely to rain!)."

Gorgeous Character Bach

10/10 Excellent

"What a brilliant Bach. Beautiful location and full of history inside (it has been a bach since the 1920s - even the cups, plates, mugs and glasses are historical). Right on the beachfront (you can really hear the waves roar at night), a couple of minutes from the local pub, 5 mins walk from the blowholes and pororari river walk, other major walks a 5-15 drive . Fast chargers just 2 minutes away at Dolomite point for those with electric cars. High recommended. We will be staying again when we can."
