Great location for beach and Glow Worm dell. Ample, clean facilities.

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 12 Nov 2023
Hooked up 6 birth RV on powered site for one night in Oct 2023.
Check in was pleasant and informative with good information on Restaurants in town and the Glow Worm Dell which is literally just across the road. Pricing is on par with most sites in the area.
It's about 15-20 mins walk into town for bars, restaurants and the iconic beach with it's Hokitika sign.
The facilities on site are clean and work well and it's 1 min walk onto the beach which when we were there, was a windswept, dramatic landscape littered with driftwood. Stunning.
If touring again, this would be our Hokitika choice of hook up.

    We highly recommend this dog friendly accommodation, with the beach at our accommodation's front door. The whole unit was clean, tidy and well equipped and with a comfortable bed. Plenty of spare towels, blankets if needed. Excellent heating in all rooms. Everything (ie; all appliances etc worked very well). When we arrived we were greeted with the heat pump and bathroom towel rails and lights on - all very welcoming and inviting. The units were discreetly serviced daily. Of particular note was all the usables - ie; dishwashing liquids etc were full - not "just enough for your stay policy" - a refreshing change in harder economic times. Over all, we highly recommend this choice of stay. The hosts and staff were very friendly. Hokitika has developed a "go ahead" feeling over the last few years and definitely deserves more visitors.

    Overall our stay was very positive.
    Sally was a great host and very welcoming.
    Whilst our room was somewhat small and basic it was well equipped.
    Location is great, easy walk into the town centre and very close to a glow worms grotto.
    Very good value for money

    Room tip: Very limited storage space. The town is a great base in which to see other parts of the south island.

    Our lodge was ok but nothing special. Bathroom was starting to look quite tired. Door was very difficult to lock from the outside.
    Beach is a 5 minute walk. Only 15 minutes walk from town ( we walked from the hotel along the beach).
    A railway line runs alongside part of the site and we were woken at 5.30am by a passing goods train that was very loud. Then the cockerel started....
    Site has animals in a fenced off section in then middle- alpacas, goats, pig etc
    Site could be very nice but just looked a bit scruffy in places.

    Love this place, had a beach front unit, had everything I needed. It's been a year since I last came, updated curtains and cleaning on point. Just the best place to stay for beach, sunsets and everything you need. Awesome reception staff! Can't wait to go back..

    Loved the location of this place, 20m from the beach.
    We had a lovely chalet with the bedroom upstairs. Probably not our best move for persons of a certain age, as the only toilet was downstairs!
    Would stay again but get a level unit.
