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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kellie Jun 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing staff & room ##### Kellie Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 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.
