Biggest hotel in town. Close the the supermarket and beach. Room was pretty quiet and there was a lower pillow so I didn’t have to sleep on a bath towel! Stunning sunset view at the beach.

Breakfast was great. This is possibly the cleanest place we have stayed in! The room was immaculate with beautiful hand crafted bespoke furniture. Susan and Den are amazing hosts and meeting them was a highlight of our trip. They work hard to create the perfect stay for their guests. The location was quiet and pretty. The Woodstock Pub has fantastic meals. Should we ever return to the West Coast, this would be our go to accommodation and we will be recommending it to our friends, family and fellow travellers.

The beach access, wild and rugged, easily accessible along the coast. If you into photography plenty of opportunities for great photos or painting. The kids loved the glow worms, it was not a big walk to view them - 20 meters of the roadside and free, you are able to make a donation at start of the trail for maintenance and upkeep of track, which would be wheelchair accessible. We went to the local picture theatre, seating and service very good. The glass blowing is amazing to watch, the kids and adults were quite intrigued. Shanty town was a great day trip, riding the train, learning early history of the coast - the best scones and coffee in the cafe, coming back to our base in Hokitika. If you are planning to dine in Hokitika then I would advise you book on arrival if you are spending a couple of days, if just overnight then google and book before you arrive, at evening dinner you are in competition with bus tours.

Nice town with some interesting information and artwork. Good location for visiting nearby places of interest, such as Ross (fantastic museum and hotel bar here) and the beautiful Lake Kaniere. Stayed only two nights, could have easily stayed four or five.

Hokitika is a welcoming town with a fascinating history set in a stunning landscape. It's a great base from which to explore the surrounding area - Lake Kaniere, the Hokitika Gorge, Lake Mahinapua, the Treetops walk and the gold town of Ross.

Lovely quirky beach town.
Lovely quirky beach town. So many walks and adventures on your doorstep. Really central for exploring the West Coast. Free activities close by, loved the glow worm cave and chips while watching the sunset. Very chilled, cool place. We were very lucky it didn’t rain while we were there and we miraculously missed the sandflies. Make sure you take spray for sandflies! If you like long walks then this is the place to go for some spectacular scenery.

Hokitika is nice and central to activity up and down the west coast, and there are lots of things to see and do. We had dinner at Stumpers and initially we thought the prices seemed high, but the food portions were huge and so tasty I would definitely go back. We did the Glacier helicopter ride in Franz Josef and The Shantytown and Monteith Brewery in Greymouth. We also visited the gorge but that was all we had time for. Loads of walks and other sites to see we just didn't have time.

Hokitika bills itself as a cool little town and it is true.
Hokitika bills itself as a cool little town and it is true. There are lots of things to do. The beach is a major attraction with a long area to walk and good sunset views. The town has some lovely greenstone shops and artisans. I always buy something when I'm in Hokitika. There are short walks, Hokitika Gorge and Lake Kaniere nearby.
The surroundings were really beautiful and the location was perfect. Not too far out of town so still close to the shops, but not to close to town so it's still nice and peaceful.
Susan, Den and Boz (the hosts dog) were great hosts. Especially Boz, he's extremely friendly and loves to play. Susan and Den are down to earth and make you feel really welcome.
The room was clean, and the bed was super comfortable, and having breakfast provided was a huge bonus.
Would recommend paying them a visit if you're ever in Hokitika.
For a multiple unit holiday home style property, the apartment was surprisingly spacious and comfortable, more akin to an apartment AirBnB. We appreciated the 3 bedrooms, which was a nice change from the 2 bed places we'd been staying on the rest of our tour, for about the same price. (However this might be just because Hokitika is less expensive). Our place had a great view off the veranda, very fast internet, and on the whole was a very relaxing place to be. We wished we'd stayed longer (we were just there one night).
Station's Inn was a fantastic retreat located just outside Hokitika. The whole experience with this hotel was simple and hassle-free. Our room and bathroom were spacious and well-appointed with all the amenities we didn't even know we needed! The hotel is located a short <5 minutes outside of town and offers a fantastic sunset view of the ocean. There are also alpacas right next door. Room key pick-up is hassle free, even after the reception is closed.
Stay here! Butch and Sharyn are the best bed and breakfast hosts you will ever have. They run a clean, comfortable and welcoming home. There are four bedrooms upstairs (two Ensuites). It was a full house when we were there, and barely noticed because the place was so lovely. Walked to town for dinner (Beach Front Hotel Restaurant). Great cooked breakfast by Butch too before our Wilderness trail bike ride. Thank you!
A piece of Hokitika history! The hotel had heaps of character, served great food and house brewed beer. We happened to stay on a two meal for the price of one Tuesday which was an added bonus. The unit was located separately from the actual pub building, was well appointed and clean. It's located in Woodstock a short drive from the Centre of Hokitika. Friendly host. Good value.
After a long few days of travel, the cottage was a lovely way to decompress. It had laundry facilities, which was an added bonus we didn't expect, lovely rooms, and was very central to Hokitika. Additionally, the hosts were very accommodating to our check in times. Recommend.
The staff was excellent and the room very clean! They even reached out to me at let me know the road between Christchurch and Hokitika was closed for repairs and saved us a 10 hour wait on the road opening back up. This saved out day!
Good sized room for a motel, with comfy bed, small kitchen, dining table, and sofa for chilling out in evening. Easy walk into Hokitika which has a fabulous beach, and views. Nice, friendly, helpful host.
Location was ideal; staff were helpful and there was an arrangement with a nearby restaurant / hotel to get 15% off the food costs for a meal. We used this on the first night and it was very good
Staff were very welcoming and friendly (thank you Sue).
Locals hang out at the bar in the evenings which adds a nice vibe to the place.
Everything in Hokitika within walking distance.
Friendly staff, comfortable bed, fully equipped with all necessities and kitchen available for use. Good location as you will need to pass by upon to Lake Kaniere or Hokitika Gorge.
Located right at the Hokitika beach! Enjoyed the amazing ocean view just through the room slider window. Room is neat and
tidy. Watching sunset at the balcony is a fab. bonus!
