BUG review
Te Nikau Retreat is a good place to get away from it all. It consists of several main lodges, cottages, and small cabins strewn throughout the rainforest and connected by narrow dirt paths. They are nicely furnished and well maintained. The common areas are warm and colourful with log fires, sofas and books. The bathrooms are clean and cutely decorated. They also offer laundry facilities, internet access and freshly baked bread and muffins for sale daily. It has a nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly.

We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.

Clean & spacious, great atmosphere. Good place to chill out and handy for outdoor activities in Paparoa National Park but not much entertainment/eating nearbyA car is handy but it is not far from road & bus stop
