- Ocean view suite had an incredible view, I had a gorgeous sunset and it was amazing listening to the angry ocean on that particular evening - Room was immaculate and very well appointed, great size bed facing floor to ceiling windows & door - everything was spotless as was the bathroom - Room was spacious, had everything you needed to stay in and have a great evening with the kitchen, but I chose to eat at the restaurant & bar - All windows had magnetic fly screens which was a great touch, you could leave all the windows open without worrying about being eaten by bugs - Reception and bar staff all super friendly and helpful

- Bar was amazing, Brekky was amazing - but the gnocchi arrabiata I tried for dinner, as someone whose a keen cook with an Italian missus, was cheaply made and almost tasted like it came from a jar…. If I was the owner I’d look into that

Location, Location, Location Staff friendly Breakfast ok (nothing special but not bad)

Room (ground floor) smelled a bit damp / mouldy. Dinner was horrendous, food tasteless and kitchen staff / chef needs to be replaced Too bad having such bad tasting food in an amazing location like this. The experience of a dinner in this location could be so great but then is so disappointing due to lack of professionalism and skills. Salmon entree got served without the salmon, braised lamb shank wasn’t braised but boiled instead, no or way to less seasoning and just no love in the food they create. Such a shame. Service was ok.

Been here once before, but on this occasion stayed in a room up on the hill with a balcony and an excellent view overlooking the beach! Awesome location in the Punakaiki and not far from local blow holes and other amenities! If you're lucky enough, the sunset on the beach is a must see opportunity. The room is spacious enough, clean and the beds are nice & comfy! I enjoyed my stay, so did my kids and I reckon we'd be keen on coming back!

The restaurant is nice enough, the staff that served us were great but the menu was a bit small and slightly underwhelming, as well as a bit on the expensive side! A few more choices for evening meals and bigger portions would get a thumbs up although the quality of the meals were decent enough!

Beautiful location, lovely rooms and friendly staff. Useful there’s a restaurant attached as not too much around for food.

Only things were the shower had a couple random hairs on the wall and wasn’t draining properly so was also a little bit slippery. The kettle and coffee plunger also had crumbs in them which I cleaned out. I also would’ve liked if the little kitchenette had some cutlery and a microwave, there’s not much for food around so would be nice to have a cheap option in the room as I didn’t end up going to the restaurant as all the mains were $40+ which is steep considering most restaurants have options around $20

Very nice view and placement outside of the town. Very comfortable bed and we'll equipped kitchenette.

Stuff was very young had problems speaking English, restaurant couldn't provide me with a table despite making a reservation because the "kitchen was too busy" (I can imagine those poor souls scrambling in there). Bar was very basic as well. Whole thing was too expensive for the overall quality provided.

This property has exceptional views and a beautiful remote location

Some of the staff seemed tired and uninterested in guests. A smile every now and then wouldn’t hurt. Even though in a magic spot, room felt like it a really good spring clean. Lots of cobwebs and mould in bathroom and outdoor balcony (I know it’s in a rainforest and rains a lot)

Nice room, bathroom and facilities. Reasonable view . Good continental breakfast and views from dining area and bar/lounge. Good bar service and restaurant service.

Slippery paths to accommodation. Flies and mosquitoes in room and no fly spray to kill them. Soft mattress on bed. Check-in did not accept debit card payment therefore required to pay credit card excess. Dinner booking requested at check-in did not happen.

It was very comfortable and in a fantastic location. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They serve a delicious breakfast with lots of good choices which were all included in our booking rate. We will definitely visit again.

The evening restaurant menu choice was a bit limited and pricey. We also looked on the hotel website to view the menu before we decided to eat there but the menus didn’t match. I was a bit disappointed because the meals I would have chosen weren’t available.

Our room was super clean and comfortable with the most amazing view of the beach! We enjoyed a drink while watching the sunset and had the best sleep ever with the sound of the waves crashing outside. I highly recommend this hotel - I am extremely fussy when it comes to accommodation and this place ticked all the boxes. 10/10.

The shower door didn’t close properly but this was a minor problem and more a problem for the hotel than for us. My only real complaint is that we didn’t have time to stay longer!

The location very close to Pancake Rocks. Across the road from the beach.

Our unit was across the road - can access via a tunnel. Not able to see the beach at all due to overgrown garden. Very close to next door who smoked incessantly on their veranda & the smell would waft in to our unit.
