I was delighted with the location of the hotel, offering a perfect setting to explore Punakaiki's attractions. The rooms provided a stunning view of the sea, spacious and modern, though a bit chilly upon arrival. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The dining experience, while a bit pricey for basic choices, offered a decent selection. Overall, a pleasant stay with great highlights and a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel is in an amazing location right by the beach, making it a perfect spot to visit. The rooms have balconies available upon request, and while they are comfortable, they could use some brightening up. The service is attentive and the host made us feel very welcome. The location is breathtaking with the sound of waves lulling you to sleep, right next to the famous Pancake Rocks. The dining options were a bit limited, but the overall experience was still enjoyable.

The hotel overlooks a small beach and ocean, offering nicely decorated rooms with comfortable beds. However, noise from the road could disrupt sleep, and access to the main building includes a steep ramp and steps. Great views make up for the traffic sounds.

The hotel offers a mix of pros and cons, with dark and aged rooms but likely budget-friendly. The service, although somewhat inexperienced, was helpful, courteous, and set in a lovely environment. The fantastic location overlooking the coast and near the famous Pancake Rocks is a standout feature, despite the distance to the main building. However, the dining experience has room for improvement, ranking poorly with issues like unanswered complaints about breakfast.

The hotel offers stunning ocean views from the restaurant but lacks some basic kitchen amenities. The internet comes at an extra cost, and laundry services are not complimentary. The location by the sea is breathtaking, with easy access to the beach and proximity to tourist spots like Pancake Rocks. The dining experience is overpriced for the quality offered.

The rooms are not adjustable, posing challenges for taller individuals wanting to wash hair. The ocean views from the restaurant are exceptional, but the prices are on the higher side.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The location was superb, just a short walk to the pancake rocks and lovely cafes. However, the dining experience was a letdown with overpriced and bland food. Despite that, the hotel offers a beautiful setting to watch the waves while dining.
