Great place to stay to see the West coast. Loved the walks, which were close to the beach hostel. Several interesting places to visit. Very friendly people managing the hostel with lots of local knowledge.

When at Punakaiki we did lots of walking, up the Pororari River, along the Truman track and of course the Pancake Rocks. It was a wonderful few days having visited more of the West Coast on the way. There is so much to do and see and we had had longer we would have done more walking within the Paparoa National Park.

The location was stunning.

The location was stunning. The cabin was basically 1 small room plus a small deck with outside table and 2 chairs. The cabin and deck were modern and pleasant. Tea making facilities were provided although there were no milk products for tea or coffee. Toilet block showers and kitchen were appox 60-80 metres away across an open area. As others have stated only 3 showers available so a queue to use them. I thought the price of $129 per night was a bit steep for this level of amenity. However it was the only affordable accommodation available at short notice in the area and is the only campsite for miles... so overall I am happy and would stay again. The breakfast caravan is a plus.

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.

Stayed here before. Great location right On the coast just north of the rocks. Easy walk to the hotel for great meals. Well appointed motel with a great space for my MIL. Loved siting up on the seawall watching the big Tasman Sea swells. Recommended
