The beach access, wild and rugged, easily accessible along the coast. If you into photography plenty of opportunities for great photos or painting. The kids loved the glow worms, it was not a big walk to view them - 20 meters of the roadside and free, you are able to make a donation at start of the trail for maintenance and upkeep of track, which would be wheelchair accessible. We went to the local picture theatre, seating and service very good. The glass blowing is amazing to watch, the kids and adults were quite intrigued. Shanty town was a great day trip, riding the train, learning early history of the coast - the best scones and coffee in the cafe, coming back to our base in Hokitika. If you are planning to dine in Hokitika then I would advise you book on arrival if you are spending a couple of days, if just overnight then google and book before you arrive, at evening dinner you are in competition with bus tours.

Nice town with some interesting information and artwork.
Nice town with some interesting information and artwork. Good location for visiting nearby places of interest, such as Ross (fantastic museum and hotel bar here) and the beautiful Lake Kaniere. Stayed only two nights, could have easily stayed four or five.

Hokitika is a welcoming town with a fascinating history set in a stunning landscape. It's a great base from which to explore the surrounding area - Lake Kaniere, the Hokitika Gorge, Lake Mahinapua, the Treetops walk and the gold town of Ross.

Lovely quirky beach town.
Lovely quirky beach town. So many walks and adventures on your doorstep. Really central for exploring the West Coast. Free activities close by, loved the glow worm cave and chips while watching the sunset. Very chilled, cool place. We were very lucky it didn’t rain while we were there and we miraculously missed the sandflies. Make sure you take spray for sandflies! If you like long walks then this is the place to go for some spectacular scenery.

Hokitika is nice and central to activity up and down the west coast, and there are lots of things to see and do. We had dinner at Stumpers and initially we thought the prices seemed high, but the food portions were huge and so tasty I would definitely go back. We did the Glacier helicopter ride in Franz Josef and The Shantytown and Monteith Brewery in Greymouth. We also visited the gorge but that was all we had time for. Loads of walks and other sites to see we just didn't have time.

Hokitika bills itself as a cool little town and it is true.
Hokitika bills itself as a cool little town and it is true. There are lots of things to do. The beach is a major attraction with a long area to walk and good sunset views. The town has some lovely greenstone shops and artisans. I always buy something when I'm in Hokitika. There are short walks, Hokitika Gorge and Lake Kaniere nearby.
Amazing location just outside Hokitika. Comfy bed and very big and clean bathroom. Best location for access to the beach with mountain views on the front side. Also fantastic star gazing on a clear night. There is an old chair lift on the property overlooking the beach where we thoroughly enjoyed a glass of wine while watching the sunset. The hosts were readily available for any questions or concerns.
Our room was spotlessly clean and the bed was super comfy - the linen was luxurious. The room appears to have been renovated to a very good standard. The kitchen is very well equipped and they provide nice eco friendly NZ toiletries. Staff are friendly and helpful and helped with information on restaurants in Hokitika. This property is almost hotel standard for a motel price - would definitely stay again.
The hotel was located just off the main highway through the town. Parking was ample and our room was ideal on the ground floor so no heavy lifting. Facilities were exactly what we needed for a one night stay. Restaurants, shops and supermarkets were a 10-minute walk so we took the car. We had a meal in a lovely Thai restaurant which we thoroughly recommend.
Spotless clean cabin with 2 sets of bunk beds which suited our family of 4. Kids loved the play area and zip line. Great place to visit the glow worm sells, Hokitika gorge and the national kiwi centre (don’t miss them). We also loved Woodstocks for food- worth the short drive. Local craft beers, live music and great Sunday roast.
Hotel owners/staff marvelous, friendly,
Room 7 which we stayed in for 2 nights clean, tidy, warm, bar was friendly warm food very nice we enjoyed our stay, garden bar lovely too and only a short walk to Hokitika town. Shared bathrooms but not an issue. Would definitely stay again and reccomend to family and friends.
Shining Star is located very near the beach. The staff was friendly and helped us out with all of our questions about the area. Our room was a little small but comfortable. We enjoyed seeing the glow worm dell just across the street. This location is only 30 minutes from the Hokitika gorge.
Exceptionally clean and very comfortable bed. The hosts and their little dog were very welcoming. Breakfast with other guests and hosts was delightful! Loved the common room with tea and puzzles. The garden was beautiful! The location was close to everything in Hokitika.
The property was clean and tidy with all the facilities that I would expect for a comfortable stay. The playground was perfect to keep the kids entertained whilst adults relaxed outside the cabins. Just a short walk to Hokitika town.
Fantastic accommodation. We were really surprised by how clean and tidy the place felt. Really comfortable and would definitely book if staying Hokitika again.
