Although I'd made a date error when booking we were fortunately able to be accommodated in a cabin near the beach. The cabin had a separate bedroom and dining room so very spacious with sliding doors to an outside seating/dining area in sight of the ocean. Comfortable bed and spacious bathroom were very welcome. Very restful place to stay and I'd definitely return.

A very comfortable cabin near the breaking waves of the Tasman sea, so peaceful and natural. The facilities were everything we needed to just relax and enjoy the serenity and the bird life. A very comfortable mattress, and a great shower. The highlight for us was the friendly service provided by the staff, and the welcome we received from owners, Ben and Saskia. (What a lovely couple) We highly recommend and will return as Hokitika means a “place of return”

Stayed one night on a drive down the west coast and unfortunately not much to recommend this place. The entrance, reception and receptionist were the highlight and it was all downhill from there! Admittedly it was a very grey west coast day but it just felt really depressing. We had a powered site for our van, reasonable value but too far to walk into town. The grounds need a lot of maintenance, very overgrown and lots of weeds. The toilets were clean but only 1 shower and no mat so the tiles were very slippery. The little zoo is 2 alpacas and a sad looking goat and they look even more depressed than we were. Location is by the main state highway and rail line so pretty noisy at night. Luckily we had an early start so just got up and went. Sorry not much to recommend this place.

Thank you for your feedback. We will pass along that feedback as we aim to maintain a higher standard of service for all of our guests during their stays with us. We are sorry to hear this was not your experience on this occasion. Sounds like the wet west coast put a real damper on your time with us. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your travels.
