    A clothes airer for washing was the only item lacking

    The location, the responsiveness of the hosts, the provisions, everything!

    Our stay at “on the Beach”was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the owner went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches. The location was perfect—close to everything! yet quiet enough to relax. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip in the near future!

    We had a bit of difficulty figuring how to open the lock box.

    Everything was what was advertised, however, with the thoughtful provision of basic groceries - milk, orange juice, eggs, a really good bread, snacks and even a bottle of wine, the hosts went a step further in the hospitality business. It was much appreciated to come into a home and feel welcomed and surprised with the hosts’ thoughtful generosity. Other hosts will do well to add that extra touch if they want to achieve true excellence. Thank you Garth and Bindi.

    I knew the house was in town, so I was expecting the location to be central. But I wasn’t expecting ocean just a few steps from the backyard terrace. You can literally just jump from the backyard to the most charming driftwood beach. We enjoyed the wonderful sunsets and also stormy sceneries. Big New World -supermarket very close. Gareth was super nice and flexible host and the house was spotless. A good wifi as well. If you’re visiting Hokitika, I couldn’t imagine a better place.
