We had a great stay. Very clean and comfy room nice wine and excellent food and service. Would highly recommend.

From the moment we arrived the lovely smiling and welcoming face of Sue-Ellen was there to greet us. We were given details of the activities around Hokitika. Sue -Ellen showed us to our lovely room which was upstairs. The room was beautifully appointed with a lovely comfortable bed and a very upmarket bathroom. Each night there was a turndown service and a yummy Finns Fudge on our pillow. Also on arrival there was 2 Whitaker chocolates on our bed. The following day there was homemade shortbread beautifully packaged for our enjoyment. On the last day there was a small tube of Linden Leaves hand cream. Breakfast was delicious with fresh croissants, jams, cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit and a choice of some cooked fair, all delicious. Thank you Sue Ellen for making our trip very memorable.

The self-driving trip from Christchurch to Greymouth lasted until very late, and we went to Pancake Rock and West Piont, a nearby 1-hour drive. After checking out the accommodation, this one suited our requirements better, so we decided to drive a little longer. Hokkitika, it was already past 11 o'clock when we arrived at the hotel. I called the staff and told them to put the key directly in the room. This is a family suite with 2 rooms. Because I booked one bedroom and one living room, the other twin room was Not used. There is a Glow Warm spot in Hokkitika, but I didn’t go there because I arrived too late. The living room of the room is spacious and can be connected to the APP for screencasting. There is a wireless charger on the dining table. The bathroom is relatively large and the bed is surprisingly clean and comfortable. When I wake up in the morning and look at the sun outside, I can see the local residents outside the window. It feels like I am living in a small town. On, unique and beautiful memories. Everyone put the 🔑 on the office desk when they went out in the morning. Overall, the impression was very good. recommend! !

The motel is tucked away in a residential area away from all the others on the main drag (which is why we chose it), and it turned out to be a gem. Very clean, well-maintained, and well-equipped, it proved very comfortable for the two nights we stayed here. Our room had a spa bath which we didn't have the chance to use, but we appreciated the extra space in the bathroom! The staff were welcoming and cheerful, and the guest laundry was put to good use. We would be very happy to stay here again if our travels bring us back to Hokitika (which we have now learned how to pronounce properly!)

Absolutely brilliant and absolute beachfront. Don't believe the BS reviews saying places like Stopforths are 10/10. If you want to be on the beach this place is brilliant. Huge modern rooms, friendly and helpful staff too. Easy parking and NW Supermarket is across the road. Not sure how other properties in Hokitika rate so highly. We've stayed at most and nothing comes close to this place backed on location and price.

A lovely home away from home, cleanest motel in New Zealand, beautiful setting and layout. Friendly and helpful service. We relaxed after a long drive. Thanks for letting me hose down our very muddy car. Close to all amenities and quiet in the evening ensuring a peaceful sleep!

Passing through the town of Hokitika, I feel that this motel is just fine, I can cook for myself. The room is small, but it is very clean, the facilities are complete, and there are gas stations and supermarkets around.

On our road trip round South Island, we decided to stop over in Hokitika. We found this lovely hotel away from the town nestled in woodland. A very tranquil place with local birdlife and great views. The owners Frazer and Anne were very warm and welcoming and the property was immaculate and well appointed. Breakfast was beautifully cooked with fresh eggs from their chickens and homemade sour dough toast and yoghurt. Would thoroughly recommend a stay.
