Punakaiki Beach Camp

地點不錯 服務也好

I've put Three stars but that to me would be pushing it. Firstly it is a Lovely situated Park. The lady who welcomed us..Really..Really nice and helpful To me the biggest Issue was the price of $50 and what you got for it. For that I expected decent Wifi and a shower you could have a Decent shower in..

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!

Punakaiki is a beautiful place. The campsite on the other hand is very poor. The showers on the site are the old press handle and the water runs for 15 to 20 seconds at a time. The water temperature varies depending on other water pressures eg other shower users, toilet flushes etc. The cabins are extremely basic. Beds, table chair, fridge and a light blub. Don't expect anything else. In autumn when we travelled the room felt damp as did our clothing each morning. WiFi is only available on the communal area and there not great either. All in all. Stay else where if you want more then just a terribly basic campsite

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.

We had read reviews before booking two nights at the Punakaiki Beach Camp so had a fair idea of what it would be like. The location is amazing as others have said. The ocean on one side, the river/lagoon on the other. Big cliffs at the back as well as the Pororari Riber track and other beautiful walks. Punakaiki pancake rocks just down the road, the Punakaiki Rocks Tavern around the corner. We booked one cabin and one tent site. The cabin was a family cabin which had two rooms with two bunk beds in one and a double bed, mini fridge and table in the other room. It also had an electric kettle and some mugs (but no water in the room). We loved the little deck out the back and ate our meals there. Overall the cabin was fine, definitely a rustic kiwi bach style . The camp site was good and as per our request was close to the cabin and the toilets which was great. The camp was very busy, there were loads of people staying. The facilities (kitchen, bathrooms) were very very busy during peak hours and people tended to sit at the tables in the kitchen area (very cramped space) which didn’t leave much room to get past to use the sinks etc. The showers were hot but you had to push the button every 20 seconds to keep the water flowing. The facilities are not really up to the number of people staying at the camp, if they renovated the facilities it would be a huge improvement. The lady at the desk was rude upon arrival unfortunately. If you go there expecting it it’s still very disappointing but not as shocking (as it would have been if we hadn’t read reviews). Since we’d read reviews we knew some people had experienced rudeness from the staff but didn’t expect our very first interaction to be rude! I also witnessed the lady speaking with young tourists and being rude to them as well. So a very mixed review!
