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.
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).
The location was superb - could see the Hokitika Beach sign from our room and the hotel was located across the road from the New World.
The room was great, had standard television and a stand-alone fan you could use as a white noise machine.
The restaurant was very good. The pork belly meal was well-priced and tasty.
Car parking outside the hotel was plentiful.
The super liquor across the car park provided guests a discount too.
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.
Hotel owners/staff marvelous, friendly,
Room 7 which we stayed in for 2 nights clean, tidy, warm, bar was friendly warm food very nice we enjoyed our stay, garden bar lovely too and only a short walk to Hokitika town. Shared bathrooms but not an issue. Would definitely stay again and reccomend to family and friends.
We were really surprised by this nice, little place. The room was a bit small, but very cozy and there is a bar in front of the hotel, which seems to attract the locals and serves pretty good food. There's also a small shared kitchen that you can use.
The property was clean and tidy with all the facilities that I would expect for a comfortable stay. The playground was perfect to keep the kids entertained whilst adults relaxed outside the cabins. Just a short walk to Hokitika town.
Stumpers Hotel is centrally located in Hokitika so close to restaurants and cafes and also close to the beach. The room was comfortable and clean and the price was very reasonable. The hotel had good food and beverage facilities.
Located in the west coast town of Hokitika, this lovely home was clean, well equipped and walkable to town. Having three bedrooms for the three was great! Can’t praise the accommodation and ease of dealing with our host enough!
Family friendly holiday park with great kitchen, bathroom, lounge and laundry facilities. Able to hire linen, towels. Local eggs and firewood for sale. Cabins were clean, comfortable and welcoming.
The staff was very approachable. There was a mix-up with the room, but they sorted it out quickly. The hotel was close to everything, the beach, stores and supermarket. The room was well equipped.
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
Great location! We loved the Glow Worm Dell, Tunnel Terrace Walk, and the Hokitika Gorge. They were spectacular and super easy to access from this home. The place was comfortable and very clean.
Great venue, in a super location. Ocean view room was perfect.
Hotel restaurant was worth eating in; we had dinner and breakfast, both were of a high standard.
