Nice hotel, with great location and wonderful sea view from new block. Nice Spa bath too
Lacks a gym, and TV choice poor, no Sports, Trackside or Movie channels.
Hokitika is a great small town, well kept, and this Hotel adds to the style, the Tasman Sea nearby, and surrounded by a great River mouth Walk.
This Hotel offer most things you want, with the exceptions above

Not many places offer vegan evening meals in Hokitika, so I was delighted when I saw this hotel had two options. It is a stunning location overlooking the sea, the restaurant is lovely, the waitstaff attentive and friendly. The food is reasonably priced and tasty, so I'm reluctant to criticize. But our meal was a vegetarian one with vegan options, which meant removing the cheese. In the case of the eggplant it still worked as there was rice and lentils to balance the nutrition and taste. But the vege stack just had the hallomi taken off, no other ingredients added to replace it. I guess I feel a little ripped off paying for things I can't eat.
Greetings Kate, Thank you for your detailed feedback and for choosing our hotel for your dining experience. We're delighted to hear that you appreciated our stunning location, lovely restaurant ambiance, and attentive service. Your comments about the vegan options are valuable to us, and we apologize if the dish did not meet your expectations in terms of substitution and value. We will review this with our culinary team to ensure we offer more satisfying options in the future. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an improved experience. Best regards, Beachfront Hotel Hokitika
Stayed in the penthouse recently. Amazing views, helpful staff at reception, excellent food at the restaurant, excellent location, a very comfy bed. Also an easy website to access for information.
However, when paying $400+ per night, I do expect that the liquid soap container in the shower is not empty, that there should not be spider webs on the big front windows, that the glass light shades on either side of the bed were clean, that the small side tables were not dusty.
I know it is not easy to keep windows clean that close to the sea, but the windows on the three sides of the penthouse appeared to be rather overdue for a clean.
This hotel was the highlight of our West Coast trip. Ocean View room on the second floor with balcony table and chairs was lovely to watch the sunset and listen to the waves crashing. Dinner and breakfast were delicious in the restaurant with staff going out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Even better we had dinnner vouchers for both nights slipped under the door of our room with $25 special including a free wine or beer. The restaurant is also overlooking the sea. They have a lockable bike shed with charging points for our e-bikes.
Thank you, we will be back.
We booked a 2 night stay. Great check in. Whole complex was lovely and clean. We had an ocean view room. Absolutely loved it. Spacious room. Very clean. Bed super comfortable. Great being able to sit on the balcony and enjoy the amazing views of the ocean. Had an evening meal. Very good service and amazing food. Would definitely stay again next time we are on the Coast.
