We stayed in a king beachfront chalet. It had a well-equipped kitchen area,dining table, desk, sofa, comfortable bed, TV, and the bathroom was fine. Best was the deck, with table for outdoor eating/drinking wine, listening to the sea and watching the day fade; which we did. A perfect end to a fabulously scenic drive down the coast from Westport. Took... More

We stayed at the one bedroom appartment. The bedroom was spacius. There was another folding queen size bed at the living room which was pretty comfortable but left no space at the living room \ kitchen area. The apartment is 20 m away from the beach, which is really nice. The kids playground was in a good condition and safe.... More

We travelled from Christchurch to Greymouth by the TranzAlpine train, followed by our car hire drive down to Hokitika which we thought would be preferable to staying in Greymouth. Definitely recommend this option to others considering the same journey as the drive only took 30-45mins. Our little beach chalet was great for our one night stop. The main bedroom was... More

We stayed in the beach front motel chatels, and loved it, went for a nice evening walk down the beach, motel was clean and tidy. Would stay here again More

I could see that the picture was deceptive, but I didn't expect it to be quite such a scam. I had visions of sitting on the deck watching the waves. In fact, you... More

Although the facilities and the layout is reasonable, the holiday park should not be advertising that it offers tent sites, as it does on its website. We rang prior to travelling to Hokitika to see whether or not we needed to book a tent site but were told we didn't need to. When we arrived and wanted to book in... More

What a great place to stay!! We enjoyed every bit of our stay here and will definitely stay again. Clean, comfortable and on the beach - what more can I say. Excellent service and facilities. Beach chalets allow some privacy to your stay while being situated close enough to hear the waves on the beach. Great for couple or families... More

We stayed at the Shining Star for just one night, and it was a perfect beachside cottage. Great value at about $100US for a log cabin with two beds and a kitchen with the beach just outside. We drove into town and picked up groceries for dinner and breakfast. What a great end to our short tour of the South... More
