Location is fantastic.

Smell of baby powder in the room and how inconsistent the hot water is in the shower.

The ocean outlook.

The queen bed sagged slightly in the middle and is probably due for renewal.

"Lovely hotel with great views"

10.0

We loved everything about our stay at the Scenic Hotel. We had a Suite with Sea View room up on the hill over the road from the main hotel building. There was parking outside our room. There is a tunnel walkway to the hotel if you don't drive. The room was lovely, very comfortable, great views, well appointed. We loved the comfy chairs with footstools. Dinner at the restaurant was delicious, service was good.

Access to reception and the restaurant for someone with mobility issues is via a sloping path behind the main hotel complex, otherwise you need to walk up steep steps to reception at the front of the building. There is only one carpark near the access to the path.

"Excellent stay for our 2 night visit to Punakaiki"

9.0

The hotel was ideally located for Punakaiki and visiting the sights. The room was excellent with all the amenities we needed for our two night stay. The room was clean, tidy, comfortable and warm. We really enjoyed our stay.

One night the bar was short staffed and we had to wait a while to order. When we sat in the restaurant having our drink, it was very cold. However the heating was put on for us.
