We did not enjoy our stay here. Mold in bathroom shower. Mirror needs replacing. Kitchen table and chairs need replacing. Stains on chair pads the bottoms of chairs are peeling and weathered. Property needs a deep clean and some remodeling. Recall the showers would eliminate the mold.

Great little spot just a mile from town. Faculties were great. I stayed in a 1 bed studio but looks like they cater for all types including campers! On site laundry. Great spot if in Hokitika!

The property is nice. If travelling with kids there is also a playground and animals (llamas, etc). The suite was very clean and comfortable. The only thing to note is that check in is at 3pm and there is no staff there until that time. We arrived a little early from a long drive and went to see if we could have early check in. No one there to let us know either way. However town is a 3 minute drive away so we kept busy. Another notable thing about this property is that there is a natural flow worm fell right across the street. Free to enter and quite amazing.

Cute log cabins
Nice motel with cute log cabins. So close to the beach. Good for a walk to search for neat stones. Really enjoyed our stay. Love that this place is pet friendly. Our spaniel enjoyed it as much as we did

We had a nice family cabin that backs onto a beach which was wonderful for sunsets. Small kitchenette which allowed us to cook some meals. No centralized heating but did have heaters for the rooms.

Very nicely situated on the beach. The room was very clean and comfortable with a nice deck to enjoy the view of the ocean. It’s about a ten minute drive to downtown for shopping and dining.
