As a first-time solo traveler diving into the Worldpackers experience, I was a bundle of nerves. However, any apprehension I had dissolved once I was welcomed by Chris and the team. It was a very safe and welcoming environment. The tasks/volunteer work was easy and never took more than an hour and a half. It was a perfect balance between contributing to the lodge and having ample time to explore the breathtaking surroundings. Especially when Chris has some local gems to show us!! Punakaiki is literally paradise—the scenery is surreal!! Many outdoorsy things to do and see.

It creates internal conflict: on the one hand, you probably want to see the rest of NZ, but on the other, that involves leaving. I am still here as of writing this and don't know when I'll go.

The days in Punakaiki were amazing! The landscape is stunning and the people I stayed with were super fun and lovely. Also Chris was such a good host! He was very generous, funny and cared a lot about us. He planned some fun activities and you had always a good chat with him. The work was also done quickly and you had a lot of time to exploreeee🐛🌱

The „the lodge“ is a beautiful place. You can calm down, enjoy nature and meet volunteers from all around the world. The work is not hard, it will never take more than 2 hours per day. Food is not included, bring some groceries - but don't worry you have the opportunity to join a 'cityday' to Greymouth and stock up :-) Chris, one of the hosts is a kind and generous person. He is helpful and makes everyone welcome and included in the community. I'm glad i had the opportunity to visit punakaiki and met some great people! ..... Pancake rocks are stunning by the way✨ (:

Had a great first experience at the lodge! Work was very easy starting from 10am to about 11:30. So many activities to do in the area including hiking, rock jumping, kayaking, pancake rocks and glow worm caves. Chris, while occasionally showing moments of emotion, was very nice and generous, always offering a helping hand with anything we needed. Great accommodation as well. Definitely recommend if you are looking to connect with nature!

Absolutely loved my time at the lodge. Our host and the lodge manager were both so great and generous. They are very knowledgeable and truly go above and beyond for all guests and work stay team. the lodge is secluded in the rainforest. 5 minutes walk to the beach, 20 minutes walk to the tavern and ~45 minutes walk to the cafe & pancake rocks. Don't worry, the tavern has great lattes too! Be sure to bring at least 2 days of groceries with you. Work is 1-2 hours a day, depending on how many guests are checking out and how many folks are there for workstay.

Weeks in the lodge go by so quickly. For only one hour of work, accomodation is really good. Far from the city, the environment is heavenly. It was just as enjoyable to explore as it was to just relax. The people here are all welcoming, helpful and kind. Thanks to Chris for showing us the beauty of the place. It was also an opportunity to meet volunteers who became friends. Probably my best volunteer experience !
