Scenic Hotel Punakaiki

- 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

What a wonderful hotel in an amazing location. The booking.com description undersells what it's really like. Worth the extra money for a beach front room. Great quality meals and lovely attentive staff always on hand and pleased to help. I travel light and self laundry on site facilities were just what I wanted. Punakaiki rocks are a short distance away and a quality attraction not to be missed. Thoroughly recommend staying at this excellent hotel.

Lovely large room with a huge bed, and a spare single bed. Handy to have a kitchenette. The view of the sea from our room was awesome. And having a balcony was a nice feature. Big bathroom as well. The scenery of the bush surrounding the accommodation was just perfect. We had dinner at the restaurant and walking the entire walkway and through the “tunnel” which was lit up was awesome. I loved it.

The staff are absolutely fantastic. Ethan and Yash in the evenings did an outstanding job looking after everyone in dining room, bar and reception, outstanding team work.

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