Loved our stay

We loved the house. The beds were super comfy and we all had great sleeps. The house had an awesome layout with lots of space for the 5 of us, and 6 would have been fine too. Jed was a great host and punakaiki is a special place. Can't wait to go back.

Loved the setting. The house was such a gem in the most beautiful surroundings. The pancake stones were close by, the pub was just across the road, right beside the beach. It was paradise. The property was very clean and well maintained - we loved our stay there.

Perfect.

I can't rate this experience more highly. The place was immaculate, luxurious and at the foot of an incredible cliff/mountain in scenery that actually stole my breath. To use a couple inadequate words it was pure beauty. The receptionist was so welcoming and truer words than hers have not been spoken, "you'll regret only staying for one night". Thank you very much.
