Scenic Hotel Punakaiki | Best places to stay in New Zealand

"This solid-looking eco-resort offers a safe harbour from the buffeting winds and raging ocean – and a great launch pad for exploring Paparoa National Park – one of New Zealand’s hidden gems. The rooms are on the Spartan side, but the resort is well-run and within easy striking distance of all the major local attractions such as Pancake Rocks and the Punakaiki Blow Holes. There are superb walking and cycling trails nearby – and e-bikes for hire – plus beautiful bays and beaches to explore. Prices are reasonably high – but you’re paying for glorious isolation, adventure and as much clean air as your lungs can absorb. It’s a 90-minute drive from the nearest town, and 3.5 hours from Christchurch, but the untamed wilderness is on your doorstep. Families with children of all ages are welcome. " - Mark Chipperfield

Incredible service with a magnificent view frok the foyer/bar . The property seems to own the beach with un divided views and the property is designed to make you feel like there is hardly anyone here. |Nothing is too much for the staff with wine recommendations and thoughtful touches in the spacious rooms . My room had a direct view of the beach over the car park. |Staff had afternoon treats in our room on arrival and sleep room spray and the heater turned on when I returned from dinner.|Dinner was absolutely delicious. Incredible offering in a remote location. With fabulous service.

Great location, just magic. We had a rainforest queen room with balcony bed and breakfast package. No air-conditioning, but there was a fan. Road noise only noticed when ranchslider door open. Great breakfast with plenty of the usual options you expect from a hotel chain. Plenty of parking, but not outside your unit. Loved the under road walkway. It's a beautiful spot.

The hotel is situated on the beach or across the road from the beach with an underpass to connect. Our room had views of the gardens and the beach, facing the sunset, which was lovely. The room itself was well equipped with a kitchenette, comfy king bed and nice bathroom. The terrace outside was nice in the evening sun. A great restaurant and bar with views over the beach with raging surf. We really enjoyed our short stay!

Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly. Our rooms were very nice and tidy, with a fantastic view of the beach. We were a family group, and the adjoining room was a lovely surprise. We enjoyed cocktails in the bar, followed by a delicious dinner and dessert. We also had breakfast the next morning, which was amazing—every meal we had was absolutely faultless. Our restaurant waiter was very friendly and made us feel truly welcome. We can’t wait to go back and would highly recommend this place to others!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The rooms had the best view of the coastline and were very well appointed with everything we needed. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We had secured a promotional deal which was running at the time, so we enjoyed excellent value for the money we spent. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you

Visiting the area with my older mum and the hotel was lovely and accommodating to her mobility needs. Beds very comfortable rooms perfect for what we needed. |Dinner was good , portion size was too big for small eaters but tasty, breakfast excellent. Great poached eggs, chef did well. |Location and outlook lovely.

Didn't pre book so got a pretty good walk in rate for a lovely ground floor seaview room. Spacious room, spotlessly clean, really comfortable bed and very cosy all round. The bar upstairs serves pretty good snacks and has amazing views across the Tasman. Staff were lovely and went above and beyond to give me a great room at a very good reate.

The room was excellent, clean spacious and the walk in shower lovely. The restaurant was limited and although the filet steak was perfectly cooked and tasty, the kumara fries were soggy.|There were signs to take care of the sand flies, but we never saw any. There is a Pancake Rock cafe 200m away which was far nicer food and great staff.
