The hotel was wonderful and close to the area attractions such as punakaiki pancake rocks. The view of the sunset across the ocean was surreal.

Room with Urine Stench
There is a light stanch of urine on the fabric inside the room. Internet connection was laggy and got disconnected often.

The room was nice and spacious, and the location just steps from the waterfront was nice. Note that the beach begins a few hundred meters further down, at the motel it is just a sea wall.

An older style cabin but very comfortable and in a great position, near the beach. Easy to walk to the river walk, Pancake Rocks and the Hotel.

Best Sunset in New Zealand
You have to book in at the hotel 400 meters down the road. Cabin we had fine for the two of us and faced west overlooking the ocean giving us fantastic sunsets. The downside is that it’s situated nearly 50 kilometres from the neatest store. Only the hotel is near for dinner but is a bit expensive and limited choice. Truman trail,River walk and the Pancake Rocks are not to be missed..

We were given an upgrade at no extra charge meaning we had very spacious accommodation. The unit we stayed in for 3 days was the unit for persons with disabilities and we found this very easy to use. The only down side was the sofa (pull out bed) was uncomfortable to sit on and was the only lounge seating.
