Located alongside Paparoa National Park, 30 metres from the sea, Punakaiki Beachfront Motels are 5 minutes’ walk from Pancake Rocks and local cafes and restaurants. All accommodation offer outdoor seating and cooking facilities.

Loved the batch on the beach. Very homely, clean and tidy and had mosquito nets so could keep windows open. So warm and inviting and right on the beach. Would highly recommend.

    Well located at the south end of picturesque Punakaiki village. The motel was between the limestone cliffs and the beach and walking distance to the Pancake Rocks. There was a small kitchenette and bathroom. The beds were OK and it was quiet. There is access to the beach for sunsets but it's not a swimming beach. The shower system was a bit confusing at first. The motel has an outdoor picnic table and seating on the rock sea wall.

    It's more of a family motel than a couple's retreat.

    We were unable to stay in the motel so were upgraded to the Hotel. Excellent service by the owners. Thank you very much.
