Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
1 bedroom unit very warm and clean, comfy beds and awesome shower. Great value for money and proper milk was a amazing bonus. Hosts were very helpful and the guest laundry was very handy after a damp day exploring.

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!)

Stayed here for 1 night as family. Decent sized room. Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Nice to have a little 300ml bottle of fresh milk provided as checked in for use with tea/coffee. Would happily stay here again and recommend to others

We stayed here 2 nights. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Our room was a “One bedroom family unit”; it was clean and a nice size. Decent size kitchenette was well equipped but with no oven. Bathroom is adequate size and modern, but the shower enclosure could use re-caulking. Queen Bed was comfortable and we used the adjacent twin bed for our suitcases. The whole place could use more hooks for hanging up coats, although there is a small closet with hangers in the living room. Couches in the living room were comfortable but were dated. Nice laundry facilities convenient to all rooms. Great comfortable place to stay on your way through Hokitika. It was VERY quiet at night.

This motel is just a wee gem tucked away from the noisy main road with super clean and welcoming rooms. Simon and Jill are super hosts who always make everyone feel so welcome. I would highly recommend stopping here to rest and relax or recharge before you take on more of Te Tai Poutini

Was disappointed with the cleanliness of our unit especially during Covid when everything is supposed to be deep cleaned. Light switches wall & floor not clean. Bed was full of wrinkles & had to be remade to be comfortable.

We stayed here 3 nights during a South Island bike trip. It is bike friendly, clean quiet modern and has an enclosed courtyard.. The unit was serviced daily and the manager/owner was helpful and friendly. Location was ideal for us while riding the Wilderness Trail which was only 1 block away and about 1km from town. The unit had a huge lounge area but the carpet had some wrinkles which indicated a replacement was due. We were happy with our stay, pricing was moderate. Would we recommend this. Yes very much so.

We stayed 2 nights and our unit was quiet and everything we needed. It had a spa bath which was enjoyable after our days sightseeing. We had a hotplate to make our meals. Our unit was serviced after our first night stay so we had fresh linen for our 2nd night stay. Staff were very friendly

Although the motel is not on the main road like most of the others in Hokitika it is a great location in a residential area and very quiet. The train line to the dairy factory is not as close as it is to other motels. We walked in to town in about 10-15 minutes or it is a less than 5 minute drive. This is a very tidy, high quality, yet not over priced, motel. The units are spacious with a large lounge and separate bedroom. Really good to have a full range of Sky TV channels and excellent, high speed, easy to use internet connection. Very comfortable bed and really good lighting in both lounge and above bed for reading. We both enjoyed a great shower. Kitchen well stocked. Extra little touches were the plunger coffee and pot and toilet spray in the bathroom. Also liked the glass on top of the bedside cabinets. Friendly, helpful owner who provided an excellent recommendation of the Pioneer Hotel for a pub style evening meal and we got a discount on our food too!…
