Excellent Dining Experience

During my stay, I had dinner at the on-site restaurant, and it was nothing short of amazing. The food was superb, with fresh ingredients that made every bite good. The atmosphere was warm, and the service was just excellent. I particularly enjoyed the fish dishes they offered in the Boatshed Café; it was such a great value for the quality of food served.

Relaxing Spa Pool

I took an afternoon to unwind in the spa pool, which was a perfect way to relax. The pool area was inviting, and the tranquil surroundings added to the calming experience. Just sitting there, soaking and enjoying the peacefulness of the resort was a highlight of my trip.

Lovely Room Views

Staying in the Kingfisher Chalet was a fantastic experience. The views from the room were absolutely amazing and made waking up each day feel special. The room had a comfortable living area and a nice kitchen, allowing me to enjoy some meals in while taking in the scenery outside.

Comfortable and Cozy

The bedroom in my chalet was cozy and well-appointed. The bedding was soft and inviting, contributing to my excellent night's sleep. It was nice to have a serene atmosphere to return to after a day of exploring. I really loved the balance between comfort and the charm of the space.

Our stay at Punga Cove was quite a mix. While the location is simply breathtaking and offers stunning views, we had some ups and downs with dining experiences. The staff was incredibly attentive, and our room was comfortable with lovely scenery. However, the dining prices felt a bit steep compared to the quality we received at times, especially during our Christmas lunch. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway, but dining could definitely improve.

Punga Lodge offers a beautiful escape, surrounded by serene natural beauty and fantastic food options. While my chalet had breathtaking views and was exceptionally clean, the overall noise levels were a concern, especially due to the restaurant's activities. The ambiance did not match the price point, which I found a bit disappointing. However, the dining experience truly stood out, making it a worthwhile visit, despite some drawbacks.

Punga offers a serene getaway with stunning views of the Marlborough Sounds. The accommodation was cozy and clean, providing a delightful place to relax. However, dinner at the restaurant fell short of expectations, which was a letdown for us. The transfers to Picton were well-organized, adding to the overall experience, but do keep in mind that it comes with a price.

The staff is incredibly attentive, and it feels like a truly special getaway, although the noise from the restaurant can be a major drawback for some rooms.
