Lovely wonderful fulfilling experience! I absolutely recommend, I booked to stay a month and ended up staying for 5 weeks as I was having a really great time. Chris the manager took us to secret spots which were amazing every single time! A car is handy but not absolutely necessary as someone will be going to town at some point and you can tag along. Beautiful area, so peaceful and after 2 months in Auckland is exactly what I wanted.

Wow, just wow! What a beautiful experience. When I arrived I was the only volunteer for a week which can sound scary but it was the opposite in this case! Chris was the best host ever and we went for adventures together (and with Marley the doggo💕) or he gave me tips what to do after work every day. The volunteer house is also super cool, so much to do even indoors on rainy days. The work is super chill. The nature around is beautiful ! The beach is only 5 minute walk! Chris is such a amazing human and he made my experience unforgettable❤️I truly felt at home.

I cannot speak highly enough about my time at the lodge. I echo all of the other reviews on how amazing Chris is. He is so kind, helpful and fun. He would take us on adventures during his downtime and was so knowledgeable for all our questions. He may joke he doesn't like people but embodies the absolute opposite. If you're there with staff from other countries I suggest asking him about the song challenge. I was lucky enough to meet some lifelong friends in Chris and the other staff. Our weather wasn't ideal but Punakaiki was still gorgeous and I'm sure I'll be back at some point.

I had a great stay. Chris is an amazing host. He showed us around the area and when we had a problem he always helped us out no matter what. The work is fairly easy and it never took us longer than 1-2h to do the tasks. Would highly recommend coming here. Miss it already:)

My stay at the lodge was amazing. Chris is one of the nicest person I have ever meet. He took us to a lot if his secret/favorite spots and helped us with everything. He is also great in communicating what made the work there pretty easy. The work itself is easy and light. I would definitly recommond coming here.

I had so much fun at this experience! Chris, the host, was lovely - and would take you on little journeys including on nature tours around the place. It is a very cozy place to live in with both four dorm beds and private rooms. We did about thirty minutes of work everyday and then had the rest of the day off, including going down to the beach and for walks :)

Chris has been one of the most amazing host I've ever met! Punakaiki is an amazing place if you really want to be with the nature. The beaches, the views, the weather are all amazing! This place is great if you want peace and relaxation. Chris makes you feel really comfortable and is great with communication! He respects your space and time and also offers to take you out to secret spots only a local would know! Tom is also a great dude! I loved hearing about his stories and he also knows the area very well. I really recommend coming here especially if you have your own transport!

We had the most amazing time at the lodge. Chris is the nicest person ever and his generosity did not go unnoticed!! He would frequently take us to hidden spots and cool locations during his free time. The work is very light and every day we would have the whole afternoon off to do whatever we want eg. Going on a hike or heading to the beach. Would recommend to anyone considering this.

This was an amazing experience. Chris was a great host and made me feel welcome and part of the family. I volunteered in the winter and the work load was light and enjoyable. There is volunteer lodging which is comfortable and feels like home. Highlights: team work with the other volunteer during work hours. Making friends. Morning cuddles with Molly (dog), magical adventures with Chris and the other volunteers. Discovering secrets beaches, visiting caves and finding penguins/seals. Just 10 mins to the beach to see the sunset each afternoon was the perfect ending to the day.
