Wonderful location minutes walk to the beach. Excellent place to see the stars.
The hotel cottages are a rocks throw away from a beautiful beach. The rooms with charming and quite well taken care of except our room did have one wall that several of the outlets were not working.

The staff were very polite when we went to book in.
The room was spacious and well equipped.
Bed & settee very comfortable
We were in cabins 11 and 12 and from our front porch you could not see the ocean but you could definitely hear it. There is access to the beach less than a 1 minute walk from property. Pancake Rocks and Blowholes is less than a 10 minute away. Accomodations were comfortable,clean and well stocked. Would recommend this property.
The beach was just on the other side of a retaining walkway but we had a picnic table on this walkway where we could see the beach. Pancake Rocks is a 10 minute walk. You can walk to the beach at low tide. The room was clean and roomy.
Nice place to stay in Punakaiki with some amazing views in the area. Very clean with lots of space, and in a great convenient location. Right next to a really nice beach, and just a couple minutes away from the Pancake Rocks. Parking is a little bit tight, but off-street and convenient. Check in is located at the Punakaiki Rocks Hotel & Garden Bar a short walk down the road, which is also a nice place to grab some food and a drink. We would definitely consider staying here again!
Beach Shack feels, close to pancake rocks and beach. It’s a shame a rock wall had to be built in front of it (must have been recently as this is not shown in photos of the proprerty) but can see that it would be greatly affected by tides. Picnic tables on rock wall was nice to sit and watch the sunset and catch some extra sea breeze.
