Guest house

Awesome location, awesome outdoor bath, but expensive and the kitchen equipment and setup sucked (burnt old pan, world's smallest and most hard to get to bin, dishwasher that didn't even fit the dinner plates) and a few other small but important things (shower head holder broken)

Worst bed I've had in a hostel in nzSprings digging In, more comfortable sleeping on the couch or rocks tbhNot dirty but not clean, not. Enough kitchen spaceSays free parking but only spaces at the hostel itself

Great location :) good price for what you get. There is also shared spa. We booked a double room.Would come back! Thanks

One of the most terrible places I've ever stayed!!Find my TA review and the owner's response....Yes, I was a submariner, for 10 years. No, I don't hire towels, especially from places of very questionable cleanliness. I carry my own clean towel, just in case I come across a place like this. The shaking of the windows and BED definitely WAS worse than when I lived next to a railway line! I get paid well; I chose budget accommodation in order to use the rest of my allowance to shout the guests to dinner and a birthday cake. And I absolutely LOVE my job! I didn't pee on the floor; I was sitting down, you moron. See the photo for the ACTUAL sign on the toilet wall....

We got a totally unexpected upgrade for a start. We have absolutely nocomplaints. Highly recommended to stay. Real value for money

Love this place - great value for money, super chill vibe. And, when I was solo travelling over Christmas, the owners gave me an awesome plate of Christmas food - special thanks to Barbara! :)

Absolutely loved our stay! Beautiful area right by the Truman Track. The houses are basically part of the native 'jungle'! Be prepared for sandflies, though..We stayed with the whole family for 6 nights and didn't get bored of the Punakaiki area at all!The service was awesome, the whole family felt very welcome.The house (Ruru) we stayed in could use a bit of a renovation and more vacuum cleaning but that didn't really bother us.We definitely go back to Te Nikau Retreat when we are in the area again.

Nice and clean. Free unlimited wifi for 2$, the only house we stayed with a central heating, but tthy turned it of after 11pm, so it gets a little cold in the night. But very friendly staff and only few minutes walk to the center

The most wonderful 5 days. Fabulous family who run this B & B and the ability to also use their bikes is a great addition to their business. Would definitely stay again. There is nothing to fault and we will be back. The 3 of us stayed in the Heritage room which was clean and comfortable. Lots of little touches make this place special. The breakfasts are fabulous. Teresa makes lovely jams and granola. Great to be able to relax in the spa at the end of the day.

My first time ever staying at a bacpackers. Tracy introduced herself and came around the desk the minute my friend and I checked in. She introduced us to the other guests by name and called us by our names for the rest of the stay. Everything was clean and the hours that the bathroom, kitchen, and common area were closed for cleaning was clearly posted. This is definitely not a place to miss if you are looking at staying in National Park area.
