Overall Ratings & Reviews Punakaiki Beach Camp

Good position, cabin extremely small. No flyscreens and room filled with biting sandflies.

Easy access to beach and river for the little ones, mostly sand which was great. Cabin with two bunks was almost too warm overnight with 2 adults and 2 children though. Friendly, helpful staff.

The campground is a bit older, but very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable. A wonderful getaway surrounded by nature!

Floor had sand, linen had hairs, no towels were provided.

Bonus of food cart with whitebait fritters after 3pm. Cabins had tea and coffee but no milk. No supermarket in Punakaiki so bring food if you want to use kitchen in cabin.

Cute little cabin, waking distant to beach

Calm and quiet place with beach less than a three minute walk.

Great little spot for exploring the area! Lovely cabin & great communal areas. Would recommend & love to stay again

Thankful for the option of a small cabin, as all the motels in the area were fully booked. Also, the coffee/eats/ice cream cart was wonderful. Really enjoyed the easy access to the beach!

Unique stay, room is basic, pillows aren’t great. Wonderful atmosphere. Towels aren’t provided but front desk was nice and gave us some.

Nice spot to relax

Lovely hot water in the showers, close to the beach, lots of amenities. Great to be able to buy supper and coffee on site

The cabins are amazing! The staff is friendly and the facilities are clean.

It is undoubtedly a beautiful location with high cliffs in the backdrop. The only let-down was the bugs and mosquitos. We all had bug bites. An advice, use ample OFF bug spray all over including on tight clothes, keep an antiseptic lotion handy, including Calamine ($10 value) just to mitigate the risk of infection and subdue the itch. This will enable you all to enjoy it in full. For blow holes, go at the time of high tide, as they only work best with high tide and ruff seas.

Convenient location to Pancake rocks after we had travelled over Arthurs Pass. Council Caravan Park & our room was clean / tidy with all we required for one night. Lady at the desk was friendly & helpful.

The location of this place is absolutely stunning. We were very pleased with our little cabin also.

Beautiful spot. Right on the beach. Quiet with good camp facilities

the location was excellent and so close to the beach which was fantastic i loved the hiking close by and it was great having a food stall in the campground ive never seen that anywhere before, my only dislike if you had to by food at the shop at reception i thought it was quite expensive but it was needed

Incredible location, great amenities.

Great stay , the cabin was new and had amazing views
