    Pretty good, clean cabin

    Log cabin was clean and tidy. We received good service upon check in. We had a private cabin on the end, could just see the beach. Bathroom is aging but otherwise clean and tidy. Just across from the glowworm dell which was a trip highlight.

    Lovely setting next to the beach with amazing driftwood. Reception staff friendly as. Stayed in number 12 cabin, clean and excellent for our family of 4 adults. Don't stay in Punakiki, travel down the road and stay here.

    Our cabin was clean and comfortable enough but it was quite small. There wasn't much room from the side of the bed to the walls. There is access to the beach from the accommodation which is nice. It's a little bit out of town but...More

    Not very shiny

    Great shower and reasonably priced for the accommodation type. The staff are very friendly. Definitely only a three star property. Think budget accommodation. The “chalets” are very dated. The bed in our room was rock hard. Very overdue for a renovation and the property needs...More
