“Good, clean room. Chain hotel with personalised service :)”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

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 during the evening as close to main road.

Walking distance into town centre.

Room Tip: if you have heavy luggage ask for a ground floor room as stairs may be tricky.

Thank you for writing a review of our motel. So glad we could be of help recommending places to eat and visit in Hokitika. We take pride in having clean comfortable rooms in our complex. Yes we are ideally located being only a 4 minute flat walk to the town centre which is especially good for guests who do not have cars.
Hope to see you again when you next visit Hokitika.

“Clean, comfortable & handy to town - we'll be back”

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 the local dairy factory but it wasn't an issue - slept like logs. We accidentally left a pillow behind in the morning but Glenys caught up with us as we were driving off - thank you! We would definitely stay again.

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.

“New and close to everything”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

person found this review helpful

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 food & lodging than in the U.S.
Helpful staff in a new or near new facility.
