Summary: I stayed 1 night here with family and really enjoyed it. We arrrived just at sun set and the owner met us. We went straight to the beach from the property via a forest track where you can watch the sunset. We had a large self catering cottage to ourselves and our room was ensuite. Very pleasant stay and really quiet location. I would definitely recommend it and I would stay again.

Summary: The property was fine, just what I would classify as modest accommodations. The access was a bit challenging.

Summary: Lovely location. Place could do with some TLC. Windows need fly screens or unit needs mosquito spray. As didnt sleep due to sharing the room with the pests. Am covered in itchy welts.

Summary: A lovely stay at Te Nikau Retreat in Punakaiki. It’s basic but exactly what we needed and pretty good for the price. We stayed in Koru which is just a bed but that’s what we were expecting so it was great for us. Very close to the toilets. Good kitchen facilities. Shower pressure isn’t brilliant but it’s fine for one or two nights. Great location - just a few mins away from the Punakaiki rocks and only a short walk down to the beach for sunset which was recommended to us by the owner. He even gave us some insect repellent too. Only minor - but maybe try to put the lights near the signs in the walkway down to the beach as we did get a little lost on the way back to the hostel in the dark.

Summary: Room was adequate, sparse but had what we needed for 1 night. Internet was spotty at best and unavailable for much of our stay. The visiting Wētā birds on the deck made up for it!

Summary: It's a great spot, and easy walking to a fantastic beach. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were about average for a backpackers.The room itself was below average though. The door was closed with a bolt, but there was a gap all around it. There was a latch and a padlock for when we wanted to go out, and there was a strong musty/mouldy smell in the room. The bed was surprisingly comfortable though.

Summary: We appreciated the manager letting us shift our separate rooms to one two bedroom cottage at the last minute. As the heavy rains came during the night, we were beyond grateful that we were not in a tent or in a small metal "economy room" with no bathroom! We were safe and sound in a lovely two bedroom cottage with a well equipped kitchenette, large living room, covered deck and a walking path to the ocean (before the rain came). We were only there one night, checked in late and left early, but our time there was greatly appreciated.
