We stayed in a cabin, which was small but just fine. It’s right next to the beach, and there is a central area for cooking, showers and hanging out. A really nice vibe.

Place was nice and clean. Private chairs to sit outside, close to beach. Only thing I didn't like is to walk to toilets. I would recommend this place as a good value for money.

Thankful for the option of a small cabin, as all the motels in the area were fully booked. Also, the coffee/eats/ice cream cart was wonderful. Really enjoyed the easy access to the beach!

Amazing location right on the beach and 10 minute walking to Pancake Rocks! Cabin was great with a small fridge and kettle, and had a nice private deck to sit out on. The shared kitchen was really helpful and the camp provided all the cooking supplies we needed!

What a beautiful spot! We were in the riverside cabin, absolutely stunning! Beautiful 360° views from the campsite and just a quick stroll to get to the beach. Kayaks and paddle boards also nearby to rent for the river. Punakaiki is just a special place, sunshine or rain.

Convenient location to Pancake rocks after we had travelled over Arthurs Pass. Council Caravan Park & our room was clean / tidy with all we required for one night. Lady at the desk was friendly & helpful.

Cute little basic cabins. Not too far from amenities. Linen was provided which we thought wasn’t so brought our own.

Easy access to beach and river for the little ones, mostly sand which was great. Cabin with two bunks was almost too warm overnight with 2 adults and 2 children though. Friendly, helpful staff.

Great spot . Cabin we stayed in could do with an insect screen on one window at least to keep sandflys out and allow some ventilation. Also not enough toilet/ show facilities for size of camp . Accomodation there has grown but the facilities have not .
Verified review

6/10 Good

The location is sensational. But the campsite is pretty run down. The kitchen is the worst equipped I have ever seen. And also the laundry facilities were nothing I would want to wash or dry my clothes in. Our cabin was ok with a little fridge that was great. But everything was quite damp. All in all, I wouldn't go there again even though the location is beautiful.

It is undoubtedly a beautiful location with high cliffs in the backdrop. The only let-down was the bugs and mosquitos. We all had bug bites. An advice, use ample OFF bug spray all over including on tight clothes, keep an antiseptic lotion handy, including Calamine ($10 value) just to mitigate the risk of infection and subdue the itch. This will enable you all to enjoy it in full. For blow holes, go at the time of high tide, as they only work best with high tide and ruff seas.

It was a great stay, easy to check in and out. The washrooms were clean and close enough to my cabin that I didn't have to walk too far. I loved that the beach was really close to walk to as well.

Room was comfortable and good value for money, it was on the small side.
