Visit to pancake rocks/blowhole

Beautiful view from blowholes cottage. Modern and clean. Good value for the price. Close to the main attractions.

Creaky bed needs fixing.

OK for the price, lovely location.

For the price, pretty good. A good location, very quiet and relaxing.

A little outdated, which didn't make it feel 100% clean - for example, a little rust on the fridge. Old cushions and chair. Old drapes.

It was pleasant. Would go back

Rooms where very big. Very comfy beds.

Self checking a tad confusing as we booked last minute our name was not on board and I had no idea which room we where in. I had to search through my emails got there in the end No sign of any staff

Stunning views, charming cottages and hassle-free check-in

The seaside cottage was superb, especially the views. All modern convenciences and the cottage was well-maintained like it was still new, it was like staying at someone else's house. The cabins were charming but didn't have enough insulation/heating (we're from the tropics-but those from temperate climes won't mind at all) but they did provide electric blankets. I didn't get to see the Bush cottage where the rest of my friends stayed so can't comment about that. Loved the honesty system no-contact check-in. Just find your name on the board and get the key (and if you're booking doesn't reflect on the board, just get the key and sort it out later with them).

Bad

They have a self check in system but our name was not on the board. And it was impossible to get in touch with the owners even though it was 6.30pm. They did eventually get in touch to apologize and refunded our money. They really need to have a reliable way for guests to contact them when things go wrong. We had to find alternative accommodation.

A very pleasant couple of days to celebrate our friends wonderful wedding

Proximity to the Rocks and Barrytown (we went to a wedding there) Spacious apartment, excellent cooking facilities that fitted in with what we wanted Nice and quiet, despite the wildlife! Comfy bed - always a good thing

A mirror in the lounge area would be helpful if the bathroom is busy A fan - it was so hot outside but couldn't open the doors up due to sandflies & mozzies

Absolutely fantastic.

The room was absolutely amazing I couldn’t fault it whatsoever and such a great price for what we got!

The milk in the fridge didn’t seem fresh and was very bitty.

appreciative of comfortable accommodation in this beautiful area.

Beautiful view out through the balcony and from the patio deck in the garden. distance from pancake rocks. Having wifi in that area was really appreciated.

spider webs out at the balcony especially on chairs… no air conditioning facilities. window with insect net is too small to get cool air in. the balcony door should be left open to let cool air in but there is no inset net for the balcony door.

disappointing, below standard given the price

wonderful views.

mould on the windows, smelt damp and mildewed, walls had lots of water damage, bathroom floor was dirty, was not to the standard one would expect for the price. conversely we have previously stayed in the seaside cottage which was loverly. we were disappointed to find the blow hole cottage was no where near the same standard despite the price. oddly no soap but we were provided with hair conditioner when we asked for soap,

Wish we stayed longer.

Paparoa Park Motel was a fantastic place to stay while in Punakaiki. You need a car but most people travelling through are driving. We stayed in Studio 1 with a view out onto the communal deck/viewing platform which overlooks the beach below and provides a table and chairs to sit and eat or drink. The studios also have a little balcony out the back which is nice and private. We were very impressed with the room- it was super cosy and warm, beds were comfortable and the little kitchenette was well provided for. We did not see any staff but instructions were clear as to getting into our room. Highly recommend.

Good

The view is spectacular. Nice room, as expected. The room was clean and comfortable. Serviceable rather than superior.

No staff for check in, but I suppose we need to get used to that.

Not a thing - it was perfect :)
