"Awesome place to stay with very helpful and friendly staff, highly recommend to stay here and great location with all the stores around the property and only 6kms from Queenstown central. Amazing buffet breakfast plus beautiful views from our room."
"The view from the room, the spa bath, spaciousness, the comfy bed, the continental breakfast. The bush walk, fitness trail. We so enjoyed our stay we don't want to tell people about it : ) and we didn't even get to try the wellness center because it booked out so quickly. We'll revisit."
"We stayed at the Punakaiki Hotel in the off season. There were good deals to be had on room prices, the staff were brilliant and the evening meal was exceptional. Loved our stay. Thank you"
