The rain made it difficult to drive to the cabin. However, the staff were kind. ##### Hemmaphan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gengxin Apr 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very unique location right in the jungle, close to a good beach. ##### Gengxin Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Póla Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I stayed 1 night here with family and really enjoyed it. We arrrived just at sun set and the owner met us. We went straight to the beach from the property via a forest track where you can watch the sunset. We had a large self catering cottage to ourselves and our room was ensuite. Very pleasant stay and really quiet location. I would definitely recommend it and I would stay again. ##### Póla Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel Jan 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a gem of a hostel! Our private room had a beautiful balcony that overlook the forest and the beach. It was very clean and cozy, and the bed was really comfortable! Would definitely stay again! ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathalie Feb 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Got a private room.

The locals parked a little too far into the road so the rental had to visit the undergrowth a bit to get past. ##### Gareth Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David Feb 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Room was adequate, sparse but had what we needed for 1 night. Internet was spotty at best and unavailable for much of our stay. The visiting Wētā birds on the deck made up for it! ##### David Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Anoop Nov 27, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities The rooms were basic and clean. Water pressure was minimal. Given it’s nowhere near any town, not unexpected. The walk to the beach was good and surroundings were amazing. ##### Anoop Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Mar 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Very Pretty Area close to the beach The hut or home is old but situated in a beautiful area. The single room I used is not suitable for tall person as the ceiling is very low (it’s an attic room) easily bump head to the padded wooden beams. ##### Thomas Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gail L Feb 23, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Difficult to drive in and out of reception then difficult to get out of our unit parking. Older run down ensuite unit. Full cooking facilities but dishes dirty. Nice ocean view ##### Gail L Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy Feb 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We appreciated the manager letting us shift our separate rooms to one two bedroom cottage at the last minute. As the heavy rains came during the night, we were beyond grateful that we were not in a tent or in a small metal "economy room" with no bathroom! We were safe and sound in a lovely two bedroom cottage with a well equipped kitchenette, large living room, covered deck and a walking path to the ocean (before the rain came). We were only there one night, checked in late and left early, but our time there was greatly appreciated. ##### Nancy Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna Mar 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A lovely stay at Te Nikau Retreat in Punakaiki. It’s basic but exactly what we needed and pretty good for the price. We stayed in Koru which is just a bed but that’s what we were expecting so it was great for us. Very close to the toilets. Good kitchen facilities. Shower pressure isn’t brilliant but it’s fine for one or two nights. Great location - just a few mins away from the Punakaiki rocks and only a short walk down to the beach for sunset which was recommended to us by the owner. He even gave us some insect repellent too. Only minor - but maybe try to put the lights near the signs in the walkway down to the beach as we did get a little lost on the way back to the hostel in the dark. ##### Anna ### 8/10 Good #### Duane Feb 8, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tropical feel. We had so much room and the kitchen was sufficiently equiped. However, here are my suggestions: Screens so we can get fresh air with no mosquito attacks, Linnens are alway more inviting when crips white, the kitchen counter was a beautiful wood slab but it retains the odor of food. Remove extra kitchen cups and unnecessary utensils for less clutter. ##### Duane Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dominic Feb 26, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities It's a great spot, and easy walking to a fantastic beach. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were about average for a backpackers.The room itself was below average though. The door was closed with a bolt, but there was a gap all around it. There was a latch and a padlock for when we wanted to go out, and there was a strong musty/mouldy smell in the room. The bed was surprisingly comfortable though. ##### Dominic Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Toshi Dec 29, 2025 Ok for 1 night ##### Toshi Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie Feb 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities For an off the beaten track stay, was perfect. ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ranid Dec 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really good prices, friendly and efficient staff and cosy and unique.
