Great chain motel, in central Hokitika location. Hosts were very accomodating and were happy to suggest good places to eat, visit etc. Good menu list in the rooms. Rooms were quite large and very clean. Prices were reasonable and rooms were what you expected for the price. Didnt have a problem during our stay but could see getting traffic noise... More

We pulled in to the Bella Vista Hokitika after a much longer day in the car than initially planned & were happy to find a clean, comfortable room with a good bed, spotless bathroom and the usual tidy facilities (fridge, microwave etc). We both wondered how well we would sleep with the milk tankers passing by on their way to... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights. Owners were very gracious and friendly. Rooms (we stayed in two different rooms) were clean and well appointed. We had a comfortable stay and slept great. Would gladly return to stay there in the future. More

We stayed at 10 motels in NZ & this can be said of all of them: they are owner operated (not chains), spotlessly clean, contain refrigerator, microwave, TV, blow dryer, plenty of hot water & the beds are comfortable, but the rooms are on the small side. They have absolutely terrible in-room coffee. Expect to pay 30% more for comparable... More

Thanks for taking the time to post a review. It was no problem to put your motorbikes and wet weather gear in our garage to dry out after your very wet ride to Hokitika. Hope you had better weather during the rest of your trip. Hope to see you when you next visit Hokitika. Glenys and Gary More

The property was easy to find on the main road, and was just a few blocks walk to the pleasant town centre. a little further to the beach and river mouth, with stunning sunset and early morning views. The manager was very welcoming and helpful. Our... More
