Great place, was a unique experience. The unit feels like home - cosy, pretty and spacious. Nice ginger cookies available in the kitchen. Location is great and near to Pancake Rocks Lookout - great location to view sunset. The host is very accommodating. Their dog and cat are friendly

We had a fantastic stay here - it was absolutely perfect! The location is incredible, very easy to find and great instructions from Jed. Well equipped with everything you might need (including a portacot) and it was nice and warm from the heat pump when we arrived. The hot tub was a real treat and made for such a special stay, our 2 year old loved looking at the stars from it! I highly recommend this property to anyone, well worth the stay and we would definitely come back 😊

We got unit 2, right at the shore. The bungallow was clean and had a nice vibe with wooden floors and open space. Bathroom was big, kithen well equipped, full size frigde with milk inside. The location is perfect, walking distance to the pancake rocks and Prororari river track. The best part was its proximity to the sea, you could hear the sound of the vawes, and just a few steps through the back garden and you could watch the sunset from the shore. There were picnic tables too. Good meal options in the proximity. The stars at night are spectacular, almost zero lightpollution. It was one of the highlights of our travels in New Zealand!

This is a basic accommodation & not much else around. After seeing Punakaiki rocks we chose to stay here at the pub. Probably should have gone onto Nelson but hey, it was it was clean & comfortable enough for a one night stay. The pub had good nightime meals.

Brilliant location amongst trees. Very private. Close to the beach and surrounding natural scenery, walks, etc. Basic accommodation and self catering was sufficient for a1 night stay. Rustic, like a mix between camping and cabin. Really friendly hosts.

The room is big and spacious. We loved the space and the availability of the streaming platforms on the tv. We had a great stay. The parking was conveniently just outside our accomodation as well.
