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.

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.

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!

The cabin we stayed in had a very strong musty odour in the bedroom. We tried to sleep with all the windows open to alleviate the noxious smell.
Ended up leaving at 0330 in the morning because the smell was so terrible!
The beach was lovely!

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.

Bonus of food cart with whitebait fritters after 3pm. Cabins had tea and coffee but no milk. No supermarket in Punakaiki so bring food if you want to use kitchen in cabin.

the location was excellent and so close to the beach which was fantastic i loved the hiking close by and it was great having a food stall in the campground ive never seen that anywhere before, my only dislike if you had to by food at the shop at reception i thought it was quite expensive but it was needed
