Also there are very limited options for food and the only restaurant and bar menu is very limited and so expensive. ##### Behrang Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adele Oct 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place was excellent from start to finish.

Beautiful grounds. Experienced some road noise and my room didn't quite pass muster for "rainforest view" considering it was overlooking the road, but it still was a pretty scene and overall nice vibe. Would stay again but would choose the ocean view option. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Don Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Travelling Trough Great location with outstanding views, very comfortable and would recommend staying here ##### Don Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott Feb 28, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location is amazing. We were in a rainforest room on the hill side of the main road but had a sea view still. Room was very nice & large with deck. Underpass leads to restaurant & beach so easy to cross. The walk on the track to Pancakes Rocks is scenic and saves driving. Dinner (venison ribs) was very nice. Breakfast was reasonable but no egg person so just scrambled eggs on offer. Coffee was filter from machine only but was advised at check out that we could have ordered coffee (at additional cost) but no wait staff let us know during breakfast. At the level the hotel is at I would at least expect a more comprehensive coffee machine or 1 coffee as part of breakfast as is the norm on our travels. ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Dirk Feb 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place to stay on the west coast Great location on the beach, restaurant very good and room comfortable. ##### Dirk Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kellie Jun 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing staff & room ##### Kellie Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Jun 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Amazing views and location to the recommended hikes and sites.

It's right on the ocean next to the pancake rocks. We both agree that if we ever get back to New Zealand we would like to stay here for a few days if possible. It was just a stopover for us but very memorable, we watched the sunset over the ocean. Just a really nice place.
