The location is strategic -- not far from the city centre and at the entrance of the glow worm dell. The room is on beachfront. It is air-conditioned and looks very lovely. The best surprise is that there is rice cooker to borrow. Staffs are friendly and supportive.

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. 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.
A piece of Hokitika history! The hotel had heaps of character, served great food and house brewed beer. We happened to stay on a two meal for the price of one Tuesday which was an added bonus. The unit was located separately from the actual pub building, was well appointed and clean. It's located in Woodstock a short drive from the Centre of Hokitika. Friendly host. Good value.
Room was beach facing and a stones throw away. Amazing on the cloudless, windless winter day that we stayed. More of less in the main centre of the small West Coast town of Hokitika and close to local amenities. Rooms were nice & warm and quiet for a peaceful sleep. On site restaurant meal was OK but other nearby options are worth considering next time.
Amazing location - just a stone's throw away from Central Hokitika! Good pub food also. You may even get the opportunity to spot a white heron :) Amazing value for $60/night and far better than many motels also in the neighbourhood. Parking is on a quiet side street so few concerns regarding access.
Brand new and pristine accommodation with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great and peaceful location just a short drive to the center of Hokitika and the beach. Kelly the host is very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast provided was very much appreciated. Highly recommend it.
Really lovely, clean and fresh modern hotel. It felt like an high end hotel. The receptionist Michael was really nice and gave us a welcomed feeling. It had a super location, at the sea and near all (super)markets and the National Kiwi center. Room was clean and nice, looked fresh and modern.
Beautiful views, lovely staff, pet friendly and really good value for money. A hidden gem just off the main highway with modern cosy cabins, peaceful park like atmosphere and a gorgeous Tasman Sea horizon to watch the sunset.
Very good, motel was very clean, had a kitchenette which was not always available in other motels so this was a bonus. Great hosts. Location was a little way out of Hokitika but nonetheless, location was fine.
Family friendly holiday park with great kitchen, bathroom, lounge and laundry facilities. Able to hire linen, towels. Local eggs and firewood for sale. Cabins were clean, comfortable and welcoming.
Ron and Jan were so helpful and informative. Breakfast was delicious and the grounds were lovely. They were available for anything we needed and helped us plan our day in the Hokitika area.
Friendly staff, comfortable bed, fully equipped with all necessities and kitchen available for use. Good location as you will need to pass by upon to Lake Kaniere or Hokitika Gorge.
Fantastic accommodation. We were really surprised by how clean and tidy the place felt. Really comfortable and would definitely book if staying Hokitika again.
Great Central location to get around on foot into the Hokitika CBD. Owners recommended the Oceanveiw restaurant at the Beachfront Hotel. Was a superb choice.
