Punakaiki Rocks Garden

A visit to the Pancake Rocks in Punakaiki isn't complete without enjoying a beer, delicious meal, and warm hospitality at this charming tavern.

I visited this restaurant in the early afternoon for a beer and a few games of pool. The atmosphere was great, with fantastic background music playing modern Kiwi classics. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. This place has an off license, so we were able to buy takeaways as we were staying nearby and didn't feel like going to Greymouth. Although I didn't eat this time, I have dined here before and the food was good.

Epic location, friendly staff, tasty food. Smallish menu selection but great daily specials. Had a roast and drink for $25. The tavern has a lovely fireplace, and the garden outside is charming with fantastic views of two rocky outcrops. Haven’t stayed so can’t comment on the rooms, but would definitely recommend for a bite and a break.

Stopped for a quick dinner. Food was pretty decent although I have never had nachos with sweet chilli sauce and no guacamole before. But it filled a spot. Nice atmosphere.

Stopped here for breakfast on a wild westcoast day. Fire was going and food and service could nor fault. If we had time would have stayed a day or two. The place was really well maintained and the environment is awesome!!!
