Our stay in Punakai was magical. The location is right by the beach, the space was adequate, clean and included a small galley and a lovely bathroom.
More on the location: a ten minute walk from the Pancake Rocks walkway, which we did in the hour or so before sunset, then a killer sunset from back at the bach. In the morning we walked on the beach, a couple kilimeters, had the palce to ourselves, then went kayaking about a half kilometer north.
Sophie at the desk was friendly and very helpful with finding a place to eat, getting us set up, etc. Really fanyastic palce to stay. We only did one night, wish we had stuck around for a couple.
