Hotel Punakaiki Resort

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

Lock in a great price for Punakaiki Resort – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

The room location was wonderful, but not all rooms have such a great sea view. We were lucky with the room allocation.

Timothy, United Kingdom

The staff were polite both in the reception and restaurant. The restaurant was lovely and food delicious. Although clean and with good facilities, I felt the rooms were a little tired and needed upgrading.

Jeanette, Australia

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

Beautiful place right on the beach. Requested room with great view and was given it.

The TV was basically unwatchable the contrast was broken. Parking was a nightmare and the fully cooked breakfast which was offered to compensate for parking and tv issues turned into continental basic not even toast.

The motel was looking rather tired for accommodation in their price range. Even allowing for the fact that it is often covered in a haze of salty sea spray, it needs a refurbishment. Their practice of trying to charge for WiFi after a limited amount of free data is archaic. Everybody on our six week tour of New Zealand is offering free WiFi!
The room location was wonderful, but not all rooms have such a great sea view. We were lucky with the room allocation.

As the accommodation was over the road to the reception, checking in wasn't so easy. I didn't like the fact that we had to carry our luggage up or down stairs to get into our rooms.
The staff were polite both in the reception and restaurant. The restaurant was lovely and food delicious. Although clean and with good facilities, I felt the rooms were a little tired and needed upgrading.

We did not enjoy the noise from people moving about in the unit above us. It was impossible not to be disturbed by this as there were units directly above.
Location was great and setting is very impressive. so close for walking by the sea and great views.

Pretentious restaurant manager. Would not let us sit in restaurant saying it was too busy (3 tables occupied) but we went to bar and received same menu , same food, served by same staff from same kitchen. Pathetic !
Lovely hotel in fantastic beach location.Loved listening to the waves crashing in all night!

Restaurant is pricey. As a European, I take offence at the 1.5% credit card surcharge levied on the total bill. (It’s illegal in Europe, catch up NZ)! This was also the highest surcharge we have faced of any stay. Shame on you Williams hotels group!
Beautiful location right on the beach, we had a balcony room with uninterrupted views to the sea. Friendly, helpful staff, we requested a window table in the restaurant and after 5 minutes sitting in the bar area a table had been reset & made available, really good ‘fish of the day’ meal, & attentive service.

“Not worth the price”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Suite
- • Stayed 1 night
I paid around $350 for a night. The room was large, and the view fantastic. But for that price I'm expecting something impressive in terms of facilities and hospitality. It's not enough to rely on the location alone to charge a lot. The bathroom had one or two cracked tiles, with cobwebs in the corner of the shower. There was PLYWOOD construction in some areas and just a general feeling of things overused and under-maintained. Nothing was too bad or disappointing - it just wasn't impressive for the price. We found eating difficult in Punakaiki (meat & dairy free) and in the morning the best option was to use the hotel restaurant. Paid $39.50 for x2 continental breakfasts which consists of cheap bread heated on a roller-toaster, and canned fruit. Left feeling ripped off, and not impressed. I'm a local Kiwi, wanted to treat my partner, but left having felt I experienced the global hotel chains ripping off tourists because they'll never return.
