Hydrangea Cottages

Location was perfect. We enjoyed the wild exhilarating scenery.

Nothing I didn’t like.

Great location, stunning views (especially at sunset) and fabulous weather. Our cottage was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away.

This was a quaint little cottage with an outside bath. You could think you were in the middle of the bush it was so quiet and peaceful. Even though there were other cottages & accommodation facilites on site - all were spaced out & privacy fencing was placed so it seemed you had the place to yourself. Definitely enjoyed our overnight stay.

No provisions within close proximity so you need to make sure that have what you need before you get there.

The Room was exceptional - clean, everything you could need was provided Outdoor bath was a hit! Location is amazing, sea views and the roar of the ocean was great

Nothing!

Location was excellent, in Punakaiki with a view of the sea which was perfect. Hosts were amazing - really friendly and accommodating. The beds were really comfortable.

The unit, though it had everything you could possibly need, didn’t feel right. It felt more like a dormitory - too many beds for the space, pillows were awful and the flooring wasn’t very nice. It was so close to being perfect it was a shame the little things let it down.

Convenient location, well maintained, clean.

Convenient to tourist attraction. Warm and clean

Excellent location. It was a srand alone cottage with parking. The honesty box for laundry. Tea, coffee, milk being available.

The lack of light from cottage to laundry. A torch could have been provided.

Great location set back from road, Quiet with a good view of beach. Easy access and parking. Good kitchen and bathroom facilities. Really loved the outdoor bath.

A few things a little tired - Bed not overly comfortable and seemed a little past its used by. Faulty light in kitchen

Host helped immediately when we accidentally set off a smoke alarm cooking dinner and was very gracious when we took one of the guides to local walks by mistake. We also found the place more spacious than expected and super comfortable with lovely furnishings and decor. It was a bonus having a washing machine and dryer on site.

Being a kitchenette, the stove was a bit limited, but manageable.

Nothing

The accommodation is as described but extremely basic, no view unless you stand up in the kitchen due to frosted windows, there is a seat outside the door but all you can see is your parked car and entrance road. the bathroom is really small and cold. We didn't have WiFi for some time as someone in the next cottage turned everything off including our WiFi (ours was classed a a Hut and not a cottage)

Beautiful cottage for two, with great view. In the night, Kiwis screamed just a few meters away.

Mosquitos! Be prepared.

View, house, laundry, spacious, excellent beds, patio..

Lack of access to 3rd toilet,

We were very comfortable in the Rumi cottage for three nights. It is a more rustic accommodation than we are used to but we found it quite charming and had everything we needed. The location and level of peace and privacy were excellent. We also appreciated all the information the owners provided about the property and area with the self check in information.

The bathroom sink counter space is very limited and the wifi does not reach this particular unit well.

Rustic, quiet, huge bathroom, beautiful view, great location, and the laundry facilities were welcome and easy to use. Hosts were not present, but responded helpfully and quickly to emails.

Not a negative, but meals need to be carefully planned. There are very few choices for eating out or buying groceries anywhere nearby. The kitchen in the cottage is very minimal. We appreciated the use of the BBQ. We were grateful for our own additional picnic supplies and bringing food that mostly didn't need to be cooked. Again... not a complaint, just a heads-up.

Wunderbare Lage, individuelle, geschmackvolle und gemütliche Einrichtung.

Alles bestens

View the 2 rooms bed very comfortable

Small telly no washing machine. The door could be a concern as easily lock yourself out.

In lovely surroundings. Well kitted out. Nice patio. Decorated in a personal style.

Dusche 1a

Laundry Couch smells Bad

Big kithchen - rrasonably outfitred

Arrived - all closed and very hot. There are nets which are old and partially effective. But no AC so no chpice but to open The owner could have opened on anticipation of arrival. Fan only partial solution. It was a sunny day and pm windows fet all tge sumln. Bathroom very narrow. Basic and a bit old. The high mark maybe is for big unit (forgot name), but definitely not fof the hut. We have stayed at similarly priced unuts which were much better

Great location. Cute. Comfortable bed

Bathroom very small but adequate

The perfect little cabin with a stunning view. Just a short walk to the beach and the famous Punakaiki Pancake Rocks, it’s an ideal location for exploring the area. Peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by beautiful scenery, it’s an excellent place to relax.

De ligging van het verblijf viel wat tegen, met de hoofdweg aan de voordeur, en geen zicht op zee.

We had an amazingly comfortable stay. We just loved the suite and it's location and view. We highly recommend it.

It was cosy and cute

Wir waren im Rimu. Die Hütte hat ein wenig „Alm-Charakter“, sehr gemütlich. Eingebettet in einem schönen, gepflegten Garten ist die Lage der Unterkunft ein guter Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung des Nationalparks.

Das WC ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und sollte erneuert werden.

Lovely cabin with a great outdoor bath. Super view over the beach. Walking distance to Punakaiki rocks.

Nothing

We were upgraded to a beautiful house near the beach and it was magical

There was nothing we didn't like

een hele leuke cottage met prachtig uitzicht! we hebben ervan genoten! heel goed gelegen vlak bij het nationaal park!

Great location with short walk to the pancake rocks. Comfortable bed and plenty of space. Tea/coffee provided.

Bathroom/kitchen are dated but perfectly functional and very clean. A bottle opener/corkscrew would be appreciated for those of us on holiday and wanting to enjoy a drink!

Fantastic location within walking distance of great beaches and the Pancake Rocks, spacious, well maintained, reasonably well equipped. Self check in but very good communication from owners/ management.

Interior a little dated in places. Hot and cold water had a brown tinge (no information provided) and noise insulation from unit above not ideal.

Very big and comfy apartment. Walkable to the pancake rocks (about 10 mins). Partial sea view from the apartment.

Wifi and mobile connection was very spotty, but to be expected given the remoteness of the location and mentioned ahead of time. Host gives very clear instructions before check-in regarding property and surrounding area which is very helpful, but was very slow to respond to the messages on booking.com after check-in. Not a big deal, but something which could be improved for future guest experiences.

Nah dran am meer und den pancake rocks.

Unmittelbar an der strasse. Wir kennen jeden milchlaster.

Paparoa hut assez proche de la route

Its location was great for seeing the local sights with fabulous views of the beach and the sunset. Friendly owners on site. I believe the property was built using up-cycled materials so hats off to the owners.

The kitchen lacked a lot of equipment for self catering.

Endroit bien situé, pièces larges et bien aménagées . Possibilité de laver son linge . Jeux à disposition.

J avais espéré avoir un logement avec vue sur la mer .

It was perfect for a two night stay! Lovely and clean and everything we needed. Everything on the doorstep. Visitors centre was nearby and helpful.

Make sure you have food ( to cook) and petrol as none nearby . Lots of lovely eateries though.

It was the most idyllic beautiful setting. The cottage was absolutely perfect for the two of us. Extremely clean and lovely bedding which is always a plus!

Great location across the road from the beach. Good swimming hole in river beside beach.

נקי מאוד חדר מפנק

אין

Die Lage, umgeben von Pflanzen, das Meer dahinter

It was a fabulous place, I truly hope i can stay again. Close to everything, even Charleston for Caving. Lovely being close to the sea! It was great having a laundry to have a catchup. Can not fault this place, it was our favorite on our west coast roadie!!

I seriously can't fault anything

Location, comfortable bed.

Bit tired. And dark inside. No local tips or info.

Uitstekende locatie met uitzicht op zee

Niets

Very good location. Easy to find.

The cottage was very tidy and comfortably furnished. We both enjoyed the ecostore bathroom products. My friend is low vision and found the cottage very accessible and floor coverings weren't slippery. We both enjoyed the windows over the beds - it was great to feel the fresh air at night and not worry about bugs.

The views and surroundings were breath-taking, easy instructions on how to get inside.

The bathroom was a bit dated, but still perfectly functional.

Paparoa Hut was perfect, close to the river, beach & amenities, tastfully appointed with everything one would need for a restful and comfy stay. A great shower, comfy bed, super functional kitchen, and dining area made for a most enjoyable few nights. Would highly recommend it and will definitely return when passing through again.

Would have loved a view. That would have been perfect, but we would have had to request that at booking, which we did not. Next time!!

Modern, clean, spacious house with a boardwalk right to the beach. Comfortable beds, many towels, fire pit outside. We had the best time while we were out exploring Punakaiki, and were very comfortable when we got back to the house too.

Beautiful location

Wished there were more things to do.

Clean spacious room, amazing view.

It was a great little hidden gem and had all you could need. It was also very comfy and clean.

The only things were the tap water was slightly brown and tasted metallic, but we just bought some water bottles. The shower mixer kept getting bumped but that's just a minor thing to do with my height (shorty here).

Location

Lovely sheets on the bed!

Spacious

It was perfect

Lots of space, very comfortable beds , sunny and full of light, despite being in a cottage near the road it was very quite, great location.

Stedet er i gåafstand til Pancake Rocks og vandreture i området. Hytten har to soveværelser, egen vaskemaskine, varme/køleanlæg og elektrisk tæppe på sengen, som er godt at tænde et stykke tid inden sengetid, for det bliver lidt køligt i huset. Huset er også udstyret med køleskab, fryser, komfur og køkkenudstyr.

Nabohytten ligger lige ved siden af, og der er ikke havudsigt fra denne hytte, som er beliggende få meter fra hovedvejen (lidt støj). Hytten kunne godt trænge til en opdatering; noget af inventaret og køkkenudstyret fremstår lidt slidt og nusset.

Era un estudio espacioso y muy bien decorado, muy acogedor Las vistas al jardín eran magníficas

Very nice cottage, private deck with view of sea, close to pancake rocks and geysers.

Lovely spacious cabin with superb view, very clean

Be aware that there is no cooking equipment and the location is quite remote

Haus Rimu ist richtig schön gemütlich. Das Häuschen ist klasse. Es hat eine wunderschöne Patina. Alles funktionierte, die Außenwanne ist richtig cool. Die Lage oberhalb der Straße mit Blick auf den Strand gefiel uns sehr. Es war sehr ruhig.

Nichts.

Comfortable large unit with nice outlook

A little dated, but clean

Amazing location. Cabin is really comfortable and well laid out for superb views of the ocean. Super comfy bed. Although the main road is just below we hardly heard any road noise - just the surf and birdsong which was amazing

All great

Sauber aber etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Halt ein Wochenendhaus, das auch mal vermietet wird.
