Punakaiki Resort is the closet accommodation to the Pancake Rocks, conveniently located directly off State Highway 1 at one end of a beautifully wild, west coach beach. The property is predominantly made from native timbers and is designed to blend with the natural surroundings of Paparoa National Park. It offers a range of modern studio suites, some with garden views and some with sea views, with tea and coffee making facilities, a fridge, cable TV and WiFi. There is also a handful of Eco-suites which are more spacious but specifically designed to have minimum impact on the environment, with, for example solar panels to heat the water and other energy saving devices. The hotel has an onsite restaurant which has splendid views over the beach, best appreciated on a fine day from the beachfront balcony and other guest services include laundry facilities, room service, free parking and internet access.
