We had a very comfortable stay here when we visited the nearby Pancake Rocks in Puakaiki. The unit is very well furnished and the owners have clearly put a lot of thought into making sure that visitors have a comfortable stay. It looks as if the owners also own the Pancake Rocks Cafe but unfortunately as we arrived late one evening and left fairly early the next, we weren't able to talk to them to tell them how much we enjoyed our stay. There is a very welcoming Tourist Information Centre (run by the Department of Conservation I think) near the Pancake Rocks entrance which looked as if it had just been opened. As we found throughout our NZ trip, the staff in the TIC were very friendly and helpful.
Featuring river views, Punakaiki Beach Camp offers accommodation with a private beach area, a garden and barbecue facilities, around 100 metres from Punakaiki Beach.

Great that there was a link shuttle to the start of the newest great walk out of Smoko carpark, and multi-day parking.

Lovely little seaside town, with fascinating pancake rocks and spectacular coastal scenery. Wonderful walks up into the country behind - particularly along the river valleys/gorges.
Rather isolated, with no grocery shops or fuel available. The roads in and out are very narrow, winding and prone to blockage due to landslip. Plan ahead for disruption.
There is a pub with good meals (at a price), and the cafe beside the visitor centre was a good breakfast spot.

We only stayed for two days in Punakaiki and that time frame was perfect for us. Our prime reason for staying in Punakaiki was to visit the Pancake Rocks and this natural feature was outstanding. Absolutely fascinating. We visited a couple of times - once at high tide and the other time at low tide. High tide was more impressive because the blowhole was really showing off but both times were jaw dropping.
Truman Track was a short beautiful walk. We strolled along Fox Beach which was wonderful and we also did a quick visit to Punakaiki Cavern but that was not really our thing so did not venture in too far.

A stunning day at Punakaiki, the board wak overlooking the sea gives great views of the rock formations, the sea crashing and the bush. There is a wonderful new information centre nearly completed with helpful staff to give local advice on walks etc. Such a great stop lots to see and do.

The Pancake Rocks walking track was fantastic and the Blow Holes were amazing. The Truman Track through native bush was awesome. Cafe reasonable and pub good but expensive food and drinks. Spectacular rock formations all around the area.Raincoats recommended - you never know when it will rain.

We loved our visit to Punakaika rocks and worth a detour. We liked the house except we are too old for having to go up and down steep stairs during the night. We were not warned about this.
We ate at the local scenic hotel and this was reasonable and pleasant

The Pancake Rocks are overwhelming beautiful, almost an alien place on earth. We went there at the end of the day (low tide) and came back in the morning (high tide). The power of the waves was incredible.

Be sure to get a room next to the restaurant/reception rather than the other side of the road. We had a ground floor just a few feet from the beach. It was extremely clean, had plenty of space, and was comfortable. We had pre-dinner drinks on the verandah watching a superb sunset and then a good supper at the hotel restaurant. Be sure to get your mozzie spray on. Already recommended this to friends.
Really close to Punakaiki and Paparoa activities/walks. Nice views and room is well layed out. Glow worms on sight and a stunning deck overlooking the ocean and river.
