We loved Hoki, it feels very wild west and is very quirky both in its people, architecture and attractions - the Sock Machine museum is an absolute must!!!! The Beachfront Hotel looks like a 70's motel as you pull in to the main car park (which is shared with the town car park) but don't be fooled! Reception staff were... More

Stayed for three nights in the new block. Great views. Glass balconies gave uninterupted ocean views. Able to leave slding door open at night to hear the sea as were on second floor. Stylish accessories - flat screen tv, with modern and clean bathroom and the bed was very comfortable.. Staff friendly, particularly the housemaids. Would not hesitate to go... More

We booked this hotel through the town's i-site who knew to ask for one of the new rooms that faced the beach. Excellent advice as we got a new room that had a 180 degree view of the Tasman Sea. The new block has stylish, clean rooms with glass balconies that face the beach. Stayed on Sunday night so got... More

Not only was the costs exorbitant but the room that I was given for myself and wife and two little girls(2 and 4yrs) was situated above a bar. The noise and foul language comming from the bar patrons kept us up on both Friday and Saturday... More

I stayed here with a colleague on a work trip in November 2011. The first night we were in the old block then managed to shift to the ground floor of the new block for an extra $10 per night. As the saying goes...if you don't ask you don't get ! The benefits far outweighed the costs - with nicely... More

We admired the Beachfront Hotel from the beach on our first evening in town, and the next morning before we departed for Fox Glacier decided to inspect rooms and enquire about availability and rates for our return trip. The receptionist gave us a key to Room 423 on the top floor, and apart from warning us that housekeeping was still... More

This motel is a well kept place, if a bit dated. It's well situated in the city, being indeed right on the beach (though our room didn't look out on it) as well as near many food options. More

We stayed on the oceanfront and had a bad initial encounter with the front desk person who wouldn't show us a room and allowed us only one key at once a march back and forth three times as a result of poor information. Then we were shown a room that the key we were given didn't match! The place has... More
