Te Hui House

Stayed in Te Hui house which is an annex of the Beach Front Hostel. It has been 30 years since I stayed in a hostel and I was a bit nervous. But, this was wonderful. Stayed in the first floor double with ensuite and the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. There is only one other room on the first floor and you share a tremendously well equipped kitchen where there are two sinks, two ovens so you practically have your own kitchen each. The lounge and dining area was massive for a maximum of four guests. Felt really private and actually quite luxurious. Can highly recommend, especially for older travellers a little wary of the hostel name. Tip: there didn't seem to be any shops in Punaikaki so if you want to cook bring your provisions. Te Hui is beside the Punaikaki Tavern though which offers reasonably priced meals.

Very practically organised for the independent traveller with two kitchen areas well stocked with equipment and lots of eating areas, tables and benches. They also have plenty of games to keep you busy when the rain hits! Punakiaki itself is tiny and has no supermarkets or any outlets, so you need to bring everything with you. I don't know about public transport, it is far easier if you have your own. 

Stayed here for one night. The room was quite small (but well priced) and the hostel is in a fantastic location. Bed were very comfortable and any of the staff we spoke to were extremely helpful and friendly. For the price we paid this hostel was great value and very functional, I would definitely stay again.

Fabulous

Great little place

Small but very welcoming

My wife and I stayed here for a couple of nights earlier this month. We are both in our sixties and the other residents were in their twenties. We had a twin roo. With en-suite shower toilet for which we paid 230NZD. The room was great and very clean,the beds comfortable and the shower excellent. The kitchen living area was adjacent to our room and was not at all noisy. Maybe we had good travelling companions. You can cook if you want to. My wife and I used the various restaurants,taverns which were fine. One is a minutes walk from the beach and the thunder of the surf is super. Pancake rocks are a kilometre or so up the hill. All in all a decent if not luxurious place to stay. I should add that the supervisor is a mine of information and as others have said there are books and games to while away one’s time. There are a couple of local places to get milk,bread and some fruit but otherwise you need to bring in.


A decent place to stay whilst visiting the pancake rocks.

Don't come here if you want any sleep! I took the private room with the ensuite and was kept up pretty much all night by the other guests. The communal areas are open all Night and the soundproofing is non existent. On top of this, the room was dirty with dead insects and a spiders nest in the room. On the plus side, the bed was clean and comfy and the shower was good but that's it. AVOID!!!!

Really bad! 

We made a reservation for a room with a balcony, we ended up with a room with a view on the road. Not very nice. To make this review short and sweet: a place to sleep and see the surroundings, nothing more, nothing less
