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

Timothy

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

Kelly

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

Location was wonderful - excellent view of Tasman Sea. Breakfast was fine - nothing special, but that is not why we came to the hotel. We would stay there again

James

Restaurant was noisy , staff moved us to a quiet area in bar, very helpful and considerate. easy walk to the Punikaki Rocks and viewing, beach walk was great too.

Adrienne

A great location and set up here. The facilities are quite comfortable but in my view does not quite get to 4* standard. Staff very helpful and obliging.

Mark

Great location right on the beach. Could hear the waves breaking against the shore overnight. Very calming and peaceful. Our room was lovely - comfy and tidy. Got given a late check out till 11am which was great for us. The staff were very friendly and answered all our questions about the resort and the local area. The restaurant dinner and breakfast were very good. Large portion sizes so don't over order like we did. Had a table overlooking the water both times and as its a small restaurant it was quiet and peaceful. Nice quick drive up the hill to see the pancake rocks and blow hole.

The room is run down and over priced for what it is. TV wasn't working properly and only three channels available.
It was fine for what we needed (overnight on our way through to Franz Josef) but wouldn't stay here again.

“Beautiful and quiet spot right on the beach”

We liked most things about our stay. Only criticism is there was no safe in our room so I didn't feel comfortable leaving my valuables lying around. The parking near our room was very limited and there wasn't much space to park or move your car. There were 4 other cars up on our side of the hill and nowhere to turn around so we had to park a bit further down from our room in the pouring rain. Their laundry facilities were good and reasonably priced but too long a walk outside in the rain so I had to drive over to the laundry building to wash our clothes. Overall we were very pleased with the resort and it's location. Shame about the miserable weather (which no one can control) and not getting to see all of the local sights.
Great location right on the beach. Could hear the waves breaking against the shore overnight. Very calming and peaceful. Our room was lovely - comfy and tidy. Got given a late check out till 11am which was great for us. The staff were very friendly and answered all our questions about the resort and the local area.

The rusted heater that didn’t work. The rust on the bedside lamp bases. The crack on the toilet cistern button. The mugs with chips on the base. The fridge that froze our ham. The chipped tables in the dining area. No whitebait available even though it was the height of the season!!

Great location on the beach. Loved my sunset and sunrise walks on this wild West Coast Beach. Walking distance to the pancake rocks. Great restaurant on location with friendly staff. It was lovely falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. A gorgeous fur seal was sunbaking on the rocks just down from the retreat.

Despite booking advising included toaster, there was no toaster or crockery except cups and same for cutlery. Expectation was that you dined at restaurant where prices were expensive, mains $35 to$41 despite being nothing special. Slice of grilled salmon and lettuce was $39. Breakfast was$19.50 each. Also bed saggy and husband woke with sore back.
View over ocean and room space was gorgeous. Staff delightful. Easy to fix as sight fantastic.
