Wish we could have stayed longer. Comfortable beds, nice kitchen, bathrooms, convenient guest laundry, very quiet. Walked a few steps to the beach for sunset. Very convenient for Pancake Rocks,

Good location but could not get the shower to work correctly was either cold or burning hot. There was a strong smell of sewage out side and is hard to find as reception is down the road in the pub. For the price was very disappointed we could not shower. Next door unit said there floor sloped down quite badly.

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!
