Punakaiki is a beautiful place.

Punakaiki is a beautiful place. There are lots of things to see and do such as beach fun, bush walks, enjoying spectacular views, sunsets, Dolomite point with pancake rocks and blowholes especially at high tide. Visitors Centre is highly recommended.

The Pancake Rocks is a must to see.

The Pancake Rocks is a must to see. Pathways and viewing stations wonderfully laid out with the stone walls and the natural landscaping. Fantastic views from so many angles and advantage points. The day we were there the sea was coming in strong and fierce so we saw the holes blow and the sea water spraying up.

The perfect location for a quiet, peaceful stay right in the middle of the Nikau Forest!. The beds were comfy and there was everything you needed in the kitchen. We stayed in Ruru Lodge, plenty of room for me and my friend in our bedroom. A good size lodge which is a little tired, the bathrooms need an upgrade. Really good value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Nature at its best!

Nature at its best! We visited the Pancake Rocks twice, once at low tide and once at high tide, to see the contrast. It took us about 45 minutes each time but it was worth it to us. Wish we could come back in a million years to see what has disappeared due to erosion, earthquakes, etc. There is also a very good restaurant--Punakaiki Rocks--in the village, which has interesting decorations and tasty food.

Well worth a visit.

Well worth a visit. Punakaiki rocks is a must to see. free parking and no entrance fees. The walk is easy with only a few rock stairs to climb towards the end. The views are simply stunning. We could also see dolphins.

Lovely little seaside town, with fascinating pancake rocks and spectacular coastal scenery. Wonderful walks up into the country behind - particularly along the river valleys/gorges. Rather isolated, with no grocery shops or fuel available. The roads in and out are very narrow, winding and prone to blockage due to landslip. Plan ahead for disruption. There is a pub with good meals (at a price), and the cafe beside the visitor centre was a good breakfast spot.

I'd hoped for beach views, but the cabins were a bit tucked away. The cabin was very spacious and well kitted out. Check-in was a bit confusing as we needed to collect the keys at the Punakaiki Rocks pub, which wasn't entirely clear. We hoped for something a wee bit nicer for the price we paid, but we had a comfortable stay.

The Paparoa Park Motel has an exquisite location overlooking the ocean with a view to the Punakaiki Pancake Rocks. We had the Blowhole Cabin which looked nice and relative newly updated, fantastistic views from the terrace concluded what could have been a fabulous stay.

Perfect little place to crash out and enjoy the Punakaiki village, well located and it was nice to have the restaurant also near by. Also there’s a cellphone tower right there on the street… so we had a perfect connection and super fast internet (didn’t need the Wi-Fi).

Location is great. Beautiful spot to walk along the beach or watch the sun set and very close to the Punakaiki walkway. Rooms are nice and spacious.
