We stopped here for our first night after biking from Ship Cove in torrential rain, so we were happy to have somewhere warm and dry to stay for the night! Our room was one of the 'basecamp' rooms and was simple but comfortable - just a double bed with shared facilities (bit of a pain that you have to go... More

We spent one night here while walking the Queen Charlotte track. We were given a lovely welcome when we arrived and found our room to be quite adequate and comfortable. We probably arrived a bit late to really enjoy the surrounding and facilities, but the views from our room were beautiful and the facilities were fine. Our meal at the... More

Stayed one night on the Queen Charlotte track. Accommodation was an a frame which would not be out of place in a motor camp. Seriously overpriced for a resort. Same goes for the restaurant. The chef provides art on a plate at a very overpriced level when a good solid meal is required. Left hungry and disappointed.

Great to be able to relax in the spa after four hours of walking. However, there are tiles missing off the sides of the spa (could be a safety issue) and the temperature was rather too hot to be pleasant. Good to be able to use the pool to cool off in. The accommodation was good and we made good... More

We stayed in one of the A-frame chalets as part of our Queen Charlotte track hike - the facilities were clean with the on,y negative being the size of the shower and the water pressure. Overall a pleasant stay with lovely views!

We had a great stay. This was our first night after biking from Ship Cove. The room was perfect size, bush, sea view, clean and had a balcony for the bikes. Friendly, helpful staff made our evening drinks, dinner and next mornings breakfast very enjoyable. We left the next morning replenished and in good shape for the first hill.

Great little spot. On arrival after a mornings mountain biking in heavy rain it was a welcome sight let me tell you. The Punga Cove Shop served a fantastic hamburger after the ride and had good coffee/ beers to boot. Owners friendly and was impressed when the lady owner identified an overcharging error on our breakfast bill that a waiter... More

Pros: - Clean, very spacious and well-equipped accommodation; a bit dated but well maintained. - Bathroom was large and had a fully functioning jacuzzi. - Kitchen had everything... More

My wife and I stayed at Punga Cove resort for two nights in March, 2013. The location is superb. The service and the food at the restaurant matched the location. Nothing was too much trouble when it came to things like arranging water taxis or offering to provide a packed lunch the night before departure to enable a very early... More

A very special place to stay......a magical setting in a very beautiful part of the world!!! Nestling into the hillside amongst the treeferns and lush vegetation, the scattered layout of the resort and design of the rooms ensures privacy and the views across the water are fantastic. Ours was an overnight stay on Day 2 of the Queen Charlotte Track... More
