We stayed at this beach front resort for one night but would have liked to stay longer. The room was large and had a wonderful ocean view. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom had good amenities and there was a kitchenette area. We ate in the restaurant and the food was very good.

Good price, superb location, and excellent food. This place was a real surprise, we enjoyed it so much we extended our stay. The best thing was the food, dinner was stunning, and even the continental breakfast went beyond expectations including hot croissant with ham & cheese. The staff where very good, and the rooms where fine. We would love to... More

The location and views of this resort are unsurpassed! Our room was right on the beach (as most are with the exception of the eco-suites). The view of the Tasman Sea was just amazing. The room was wonderful - comfortable and roomy with soft bedding and linens. We had dinner in the restaurant and while my expectations for delicious food... More

Highly recommend staying at Punakaiki Resort, right on the beach, sit in the bar and look at through full length windows to the beach and the rolling waves, great way to relax, rooms same view and very comfortable, restaurant also first class

This resort is right on the beach, the room is spacious, bathroom w/ nice amenities, small kitchenette area. Best aspect is the beach view. The hotel is short walk from the pancake rocks and blow holes. Only down side is lack of places to eat, only at the hotel but luckily food was wonderful!

We have just had 2 nights at this resort on a road trip around the South Island. It was a wonderful place to stay being right on the beach. We had one of the rooms that were right on the beach and at this time of the year we did not have problems with sandflies. The room was very comfortable... More

The hotel is in a lovely location literally right next to the beach and Pancake Rocks. The rooms were neat and tidy and comfortable. Restaurant was also a good standard. Sand flies are a problem. But make sure you get a room on the beach side and not across the road. All in all, we would come back here again.

Only a very short way from the famous pancake rocks this motel has something a bit special. The rooms are very well appointed, spacious and attractively decorated but the full sea view is wonderful. No where to buy provisions so stock up first if you want to breakfast in your room. Only the 'tavern in the town' to eat if... More

We only stayed one night at this lovely resort but thoroughly enjoyed our short time there. We had a room looking straight at the surf and next to the bar/restaurant. The room was very modern, well appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed a walk along the beach before having drinks in front of the fire where I got to skype my... More
