Cottage

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.

A little gem in the rain forest. Tui Lodge sleeps 2-3. No tv but has wi-fi. Great for getting away from it all. A short walk through rain forest to a beach. Take snaps of waves crashing on rocks near pancake rocks. All good for the soul.

A very nice place to try. No traffic noise. No public traffic. Interesting history of the Mullet Point Post Office. Canoes free to use. Modern rooms. Camp sights available. Great managers.

What an AMAZING PLACE! The view from the rooms and breakfast gazebo are second-to-none, beds are comfy, and Jill the host lays down a wonderful breakfast from locally-sourced food--including her own garden. AND she is a lot of fun! We hope to wander back in the future, it was a beautiful place to end this trip to New Zealand.

Absolutely delightful place to stay... it's at adventure at every turn... Wonderful hosts, friendly and informative. Certainly coming back here in the future!

Beautiful location overlooking Mangawhai. Stayed in spa cottage, lovely quiet relaxing accommodation. Exceptionally clean and private. Stayed multiple times, a must stay!!

Had a couples massage and it was not great. We were not introduced to the people doing the massage we were told to lie on the bed and they just came in. At one point the person doing my massage left the room and I was wondering if this was the end ? At the finish my partner was asked if they wanted or tea or water but I was not asked . I thought maybe they had asked him for both of us but no when we came out just one glass of water waiting. I thought a couples massage would be the same for both but it wasn’t the type of massage we had was different .My partners experience was a lot more positive the person doing his massage asked him if he had any particular issues . I did not enjoy the experience and found my massage at times painful especially the bits where she was digging her elbow in. Will I ever go back no .

What an idyllic spot with sheep, trees, river, and a swing bridge - what's not to love? It was the perfect place to relax. The cabin was nice and comfy, I recommend this place. I'm glad I found it, we'll definitely be back.

The best place if it is just you and one other but there is an option for a fold out bed too. So comfy, warm and inviting. Lovely environs, close to New Plymouth and Taranaki. Wallace the sheep will greet you from the field and the chooks will provide eggs for your breakfast if you stay more than 2 nights. Delightful hostess and an all-round great place to stay.

We prepaid our wedding accommodation out of the goodness of our heart, unfortunately we both went into level 4 lockdown for our booking/wedding. Upon rebooking a month later Elle rebooked us and advised of a price increase, i questioned the price increase as we prepaid and to book online would work out cheaper than what she was offering us, no response, I’ve emailed again for a refund and she’s still not responding. My advice would be to book online and only pay on arrival.
