Beachfront Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Nice and clean. Close to the beach"
Hokitika Fire Station Boutique Accommodation
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent place to stay in Hokitika! The entire place was spotless and tastefully decorated. We would have loved to stay for more than a night but unfortunately were on a tight schedule. Communication with the host was easy and response to questions were quick. Location is central and close to some really good restaurants. We have never stayed at such a spotlessly clean place ever before and we have stayed at quite a few luxury properties. Would highly recommend this place. "
Bella Vista Motel Hokitika
10/10 Excellent
"modern units, very spacious and clean, the lady in reception was pleasant with a friendly smile..AAA+ "
Hokitikas Kiwi Holiday Park and Motels
10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Hokitika’s Kiwi Holiday Park and Motels for one night and didn’t have much time to explore the area. The property is well maintained and offers all the key facilities you’d expect. Our room was comfortable, and everything worked well for a short stopover. A solid choice if you’re passing through."
Jade Court Motor Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Perfect location and very kind staffs"
Shining Star Beachfront Accommodation
10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay. The animals (alpacas and goats were fun), the glow worm fell was amazing (we liked it and we have previously been on a glow worm cave tour). The beach access was great. Room was clean and private."
Stopforths Premium Accommodation
10/10 Excellent
"This was our favourite hotel during our 2 week trip. First, the location is fantastic and just a 5 min drive to the beach and shorter into town. Second, the rooms are fantastic! Everything was practical and well thought through. It was well ventilated and also had all the amenities we needed, plus everything was clean! Last, and what brought everything together is Phil and (I belive) his family who runs this place. He was friendly, accommodating, offered to help with our luggage, and even suggested to visit the wonderful park opposite the street. He even mentioned a free glow worm site but unfortunately we were unable to go for this.
I would recommend this motel without reservation, especially if you need a pit stop before driving to Christchurch, though I wished we had stayed longer. Really love what Phil is doing with this place! "
