    Nice quiet part of the country. Just a shame it was raining on and of during my stay. But I found it a good base to explore some of the coast. I did the caving/rafting trip in Charleston only 1.5 hr drive away. The pull out bed is a bit of a trick to do but it works fine.…

    We arrived late due to a ferry delay and bad weather and the lady working was happy to accommodate us and allow us late checkin past the 8pm deadline! The room was nice, clean and had its own heater. The kitchen has all the things you need to make your meals and is well lit with a good view to the ocean in the day time. The property was gorgeous and located right on the beach! The bathrooms are all on the main floor (basement) so if you have a second floor room that can be a pain to navigate in the dark at night, and the single toilet rooms have a small sink so they're not the best for washing your face - you might be best to use a shower room. Overall i highly recommend this place to stay in Punakaiki!…
