Absolutely beautiful little beach house! Wish we were able to stay longer than the one night. Glorious, rugged beach and delightful accommodation with majestic cliffs as a backdrop. Very friendly reception staff. Highly recommend.

Parking was limited for those, like ourselves driving a 4 x 4 and towing a trailer. Pleasant interior. However, as the Motel position is quite isolated 60kms one way or 30kms the other, to the nearest supermarket, a few basic supplies would be welcome e.g. bread for toast, packs if butter & jam etc.

Hello CT, We understand not being able to park up on the Motel property, we allocate one park per Unit. Yes we really are isolated out here in Punakaiki and it is some distance to the Super Market, our units are fully self contained which means guests can cook their own food if they wish. We supply Milk, teas etc and offer a Continental Breakfast which does have bread, butter, jams etc. I hope you found a lovely cafe or similar to buy a nice breakfast before your departure from Punakaiki. Safe travels regards June
