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

We hope you enjoyed your stay in Punakaiki, we have had some relentless rain lately and hopefully it did not deter you from seeing more of what Punakaiki has to offer.

Lovely and roomy unit for four adults with two queen beds and two spare singles. Literally next to the sea. Only drawback is one couple have to sneak past the other sleeping couple for night time visits to the bathroom! Very comfortable and helpful advice on things to do and see.

We are happy you liked the spaciousness of your unit, unfortunately as it is a two room unit, it means everything is situated within those two rooms. We hope you did not disturb your friends, usually families take this room and are not bothered about the bathroom. Pleased to hear you were very comfortable and had things to do in lovely Punakaiki

Lovely and clean, warm and welcoming place. The unit lacked the customary "Here's how to find/do everything" manual, which made operating the tv a challenge that was rectified by contacting the owner. Although there was wifi vouchers provided, there was no wifi available in our unit. We would be happy to return for another stay.

I would like to apologise for the lack of a manual, we are currently putting in five more units and the manuals have been taken out of some units prior to upgrading all the information. The lack of internet, wifi, and cell phone service that we currently experience is a nuisance to us all, it can be extremely intermittent and we are hope full the powers that be will get things sorted for us. We would love for you to have a return visit some day.
