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.

What a delightful natural attraction - the pancake rocks are incredible. The garden tavern is very welcoming and the food was good. We stayed in the cute beachfront cabin and could walk to the beach, the pancake rocks, garden tavern and info centre from there. The Pancake Rocks Cafe needs a good shake up, the pancakes were terrible - undercooked and the banana was bad.

Great option for a short one night, or even longer stay.
Great option for a short one night, or even longer stay. The small compound of self contained units was very lovely. Even though all the cottages were occupied, it was peaceful and I could have sat out on the deck for much longer to enjoy the sound of the waves on the beach. We ate at the main hotel/restaurant in a lovely secluded garden. Even though it's right on the main road, the garden gives you a sense of peaceful tranquility. There's not much to do in the area, but for sure a 1 or 2 night stay is perfect here. We had room #10 & it was absolutely perfect

We visited the Rocks along the road - always an interesting visit, and spent a lot of time in Barrytown for a friends wedding. Always take mozzie spray or insect repellant! We took our own breakfast items and ate out the rest of the time - the pub at the other end of the village has a good range of food as does the cafe at the Rocks

- From $67.38 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 272 reviewsMel answered the phone when I may have needed to change my reservation because I missed the morning ferry from Wellington to Picton. She was willing to push it back a day, but in the end, I drove to Punakaiki and arrived late. Mel was so nice and helpful on the phone and the next morning at the camp office in person. This was the perfect stop on our road trip. Sad to say we had to move on by 2pm the next day after visiting every single spot Mel recommended, including the pancake rocks at high tide.DDavidUnited States of America
- 8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 290 reviewsGreat view and proximity to the Tasman Sea. It's a quiet, tranquil place to relax or take walks. It's an easy 600 m. walk to the Pancake Rocks. Our hosts were outstanding, even offering to drive us to the InterCity bus stop when it was raining. The InterCity bus will drop you off or pick you up right near the Cottages on the Main Road if you arrange for it. Be aware that there are no grocery stores in Punakaiki, so bring food supplies with you.
Jean and BruceUnited States of America - From $106.53 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 925 reviewsWell located at the south end of picturesque Punakaiki village. The motel was between the limestone cliffs and the beach and walking distance to the Pancake Rocks. There was a small kitchenette and bathroom. The beds were OK and it was quiet. There is access to the beach for sunsets but it's not a swimming beach. The shower system was a bit confusing at first. The motel has an outdoor picnic table and seating on the rock sea wall.
JillUnited States of America - From $56.23 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 933 reviewsit was a good location for our visit to Punakaiki. The cottage is quite tired & dated. It is set in beautiful native bush but not walking distance to the village. The only cooking is with a microwave & pop up toaster, the only sink is a tiny sink in the bathroom. We were disappointed with the Hideaway cottage not having better food preparation & sink for the price.JeannieNew Zealand
- From $76.94 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 422 reviewsThe Nikau studio was truly a treehouse with a spacious deck high up in the lush West Coast bush. Private location a few minutes drive from Punakaiki. Wekas and birdsong. Well furnished kitchenette for self-catering. The Miro room is an accessible room on the ground level- choose the Rimu or Nikau rooms for the treehouse experience. Would stay here again. .LisaNew Zealand
- From $88.78 per night7.1Scored 7.1GoodRated good· 296 reviewsThe location was great. West Coast people are straight talkers and when you get your head around that the stay is enjoyable. The pub is right on site. There perhaps aren't the same airs and graces of a large city hotel, but in my view this adds to the experience. The rooms were in line with other pub style accommodation I have stayed at.
AdrianNew Zealand - 8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 22 reviewsWe truly enjoyed the property, i.e., location fantastic, overall property was wonderful, loved the outdoor deck, and it was a great fit for our three adult group. Check-in & check-out were very easy! We would definitly recommend this property for anyone visiting Punakaiki!
ChristopherUnited States of America - 8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 290 reviewsLittle cottage with charm and character, especially the outdoor bath. Equipped with everything we needed. Easy walk to the Pancake Rocks and center. The main road is not an issue. Bear in mind there are no grocery stores in Punakaiki, so bring your own supplies.
ErwinSwitzerland - From $56.23 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 933 reviewsExcellent location if you want to visit Punakaiki or just enjoy a nice spot. All the areas were very cozy and warm.
