    Amazing area, remote location near the beach and the river, and the pub. Big sized and contemporary unit with a contemporary decor.

    The place was very clean and had a modern design with a balcony, plus the room had coffee/tea makers, good heating, and a toaster which came in handy.

    The hotel was a superb base for enjoying a fabulous area, short walk to the beaches along the Tasman Sea, the coast against the Tasman Sea, and large trucks. It was a nice size with great beds, good enough for one night. A fridge and a microwave were nice. The location was absolutely fabulous and best possible, for example, Punakaiki Cavern was relatively close to the property. There was an award-winning restaurant nearby.

    No.

    Clean and exceptional place with very honest staff with the member of staff. Stunning, incredible location on the wild west coast. Close enough to the rugged coastline, the beach-impressed and the center of the walkway.

    The Ocean View Retreat Punakaiki has a lovely location near a beautiful pebble beach. the breakfast offered at the retreat was above average and came with fantastic views of the bay. - I enjoyed the ham and pancakes served for breakfast. - the retreat's setting felt like being in a peaceful forest. - Guests can enjoy the stunning Pancake Rocks, which are a must-see at sunset. - the option for later checkouts was convenient.

    The restaurant here was a lovely spot for breakfast and dinner, with prices that were just right. 🍴 having a cozy lounge, a toaster, and a radiator in the room was a nice extra touch.

    Needed a google map & discription of exactly where it was as we arrived in the dark and had to guess (if I didn't have some local knowledge it would of been much harder).

    The breakfast was savoury and tasty with pancakes. The location was stunning, not far from the beach, allowing us to enjoy listening to the waves crashing at night.

    Location next to the blowhole was great and the food at the restaurant was great (even if a little expensive).

    The room was a bit basic for the price paid. Also obviously hadn't been used for awhile as the room was very musty.

    The stunning ocean view from our room made our stay at Ocean View Retreat truly memorable. It was a breathtaking sight to wake up to every morning. The clean and comfortable room provided us with a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The bottle of Special Reserve bubbles and the provided flutes added a touch of luxury to our romantic getaway. The restaurant offered a delicious and enjoyable evening meal, although the cooked breakfast the next morning took longer than expected. Despite this minor inconvenience, the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. we highly recommend this hotel for its magnificent setting and enjoyable amenities.
