The restaurant food was excellent and enjoyed happy hour on the dexk

Miller G. Couples - 2/11/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

My husband and I stayed two nights in a one bedroom chalet (no. 33) for two nights. It is very comfortable and the only extra I would have liked would have been laundry facilities in the room. We dined in the restaurant for dinner one night and breakfast one morning and enjoyed both. We also liked the happy hour with reduced pricing. The staff were friendly and happy to help especially Lauren on Reception.

Caroline D. Couples - 2/10/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We loved the location in the bush. The room was fabulous in size and very comfortable. Loved the privacy. Staff were extremely pleasant and very helpful. Thank goodness you have the golf carts to get suitcases to room . Much appreciated. The breakfast was adequate. We used the bar and sat in the lounge which was very comfortable. The main thing that wowed us was the location and the privacy we had.

Exceptional Staff

TONY S 2/8/2026 TripAdvisor review

We have stayed at Puka park at Pauanui many times and love it. On this trip we met many new staff they could not be faulted. From the front desk Heather, Lauren,Said, and Stef they were fantastic could not do enough for us and a special mention for the maintence Manger Grant who is obviously well respected by all other staff helped me get my foldable electric in the boot of my car way outside his job description also made sure I got back to my room on top of the hill.You will read reviews of the hill go and see the front office staff for a lift in the golf cart and they seem love getting out of the office to get in the beautiful fresh air of the rain forest. No one every moaned about having to take exactly the opposite. Thank you Puka Staff see you Anzac weekend. Tony Scott

Tasty but far too small portions sizes

Kate O 2/6/2026 TripAdvisor review

Room was lovely, bed was nicely firm and cushy bath robe provided. We ate in the restaurant which had been highly recommended. My lamb was tasty and a smallish portion, while my husband’s venison was a very small portion. The sauces were very skimpy in volume. Too small. The portion sizes of the accompanying veggies/ potatoes was very stingy. We tried dessert which was lovely, but again was way too stingy a portion, especially for 25$NZ. We left hungry. Would not recommend dining here.
