Hotel Punakaiki Resort

Main Road, State Highway 6, 7873 Punakaiki, New Zealand –

Lock in a great price for Punakaiki Resort – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

The location is fantastic and the meal in the restaurant ( although pricey) was fabulous.

Kelly, Australia

The location is beautiful and so close to everything you want to see in the area. We were in the older section and the rooms were spacious.

James, United States of America

The location at the beach and near Pancake Rocks but not so close to the tourist site that other travelers came to the same beach.

Brandon, Philippines

Clean, comfortable property, and a beachfront location next to mini-pancake rocks. The views are A+

Michael, United States of America

The room was very comfortable, and the food at the restaurant was good.

Shane, United States of America

Spectacular view. Right on the beachfront. Food at the restaurant was incredible. Loved that the resort dimmed their lighting for the local bird life at night.

Lorna, Australia

The resort was lovely, but we only stayed one night, not enough to give a more detailed review. At dark it was the most amazing view of the sky I had ever seen.

William, United States of America

Great location for pancake rocks. Restaurant was excellent. Some of the best food on the trip. And fabulous views a must. Could have done with a longer stay than just the one night. Great staff

Jennifer, United Kingdom

The location was stunning, we had a lovely room close to the sea with great parking right outside the room. We meet Mel one of the Managers and she was wonderful. She looked after us the entire stay.

Joanne, New Zealand

Superb room, excellent food, brilliant location, everything about it was first class! Bush setting and native birdsong were an added bonus.

We loved everything about our stay here. The beds are super comfortable.. So many beds in hotels and resorts are just too firm but these were by far the best. Terrific restaurant, great service and an easy walk up the hill to the stunning Pancake Rocks.

We had two rooms, one was the Eco room which was magnificent. Stunning views and great room. The other room was a normal one, further down the hill. There was a big difference in the standard. The second room also had no view whatsoever.

Abysmal wine list. Poor quality wines at exorbitant prices. As New Zealanders, we were very disappointed to see overseas tourists 'subjected' to this. We asked to bring a special gift of wine to the restaurant and were happy to pay any amount of corkage - but the offer was refused. Not enough towels for a luxury suite. Top windows had more cobwebs than the Adams Family house
Great view. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff

The restaurant was pretty stark - black tables and floors, no tablecloths, paper napkins....not very welcoming for what we were told was an excellent dining experience. The meal was good, but not extra good.
The location was pretty, as expected, and the room was spacious and had a good view. The service was friendly but not overly welcoming.
