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!
