Motel di Punakaiki

I stayed here one night before and one night after the Paparoa Guided Walk. I booked a studio unit both times. The cost was NZD200 per night. Expensive. As I had stayed one night in Hokitika for NZD150 It was not disclosed on the website and I happened to find out just by chance that check-in for the Motels was 500m return down the road at the Punakaiki Tavern. The lady at the Tavern at my first one night stay at check-in took payment and simply pointed me down the road by way of direction to my unit. It was a different experience the second time I stayed, a lovely gentleman at check-in and a very pleasant older lady at the motel site. They do not store luggage, perhaps with good reason. West Coast Hospitality! Neither units were beachfront, both were dated and tired from wear and tear. The facilities were adequate as I only needed a bed for the night. Location was down the hill from the Punakaiki Pancake Rocks within walking distance. Get onto the coastal sea wall and it's a lovely stroll with great views of the Rocks behind and the surf (riders) out to sea. Did not catch any stunning sunsets due to weather conditions, still west coast scenery is breath taking!

A wonderful place right on the beach. Was very lucky indeedto have gotten a room with a view. The sea was stormy, the sound of wavescrashing on the shore was overwhelming, but didn’t prevent me from fallingasleep. Fortunate that the room had a radiator on which I could hang my wetclothing to dry in no time. Internet connection was fast. The bathroom wasclean. The dinner and breakfast buffets were excellent, with good wine.
