      Spacious chalets by the beach

      Loved it here

      Lovely cosy little chalet which was spotlessly clean with parking right outside. Very pleasant and helpful staff. It is a bit out of town but that means it is very quiet. Short walk across the dunes to the beach which is covered with driftwood. Bonus...More

      Great value!

      There are not a lot of choices to stay in Hokatika and looking around this is probably one of the best. Very inexpensive and clean. The beachfront cabins are a bit disappointing as you cannot actually see the beach because you sit back too far....More
