Steeples Cottage, with Ocean Views

DavidRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Wendy and her husband were lovely hosts for our stay in the cottage. The location is AMAZING! The coast was a little stormy and moody and dramatic during our evening at the property. We took our bikes from the cottage directly to the coastal bike trail and had a great look around! Highly recommend this cottage. Will be back one day!

Paparoa Beach Hideaway Two Bedroom Holiday House

KseniaRating, 5 starstoday

We had an amazing and peaceful stay in this beautiful, quiet house. Our kids absolutely loved the hot tub, and it was such a special moment when a weka bird came to visit us in the evening. The house was cozy and welcoming, set in stunning surroundings. We would love to come back again and stay even longer next time!

Paparoa Whare

RozRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Wow! Brendan's place was absolutely wonderful. So peaceful, so private and just lovely. We loved being able to walk down the Truman trail to the beach at low tide and again to watch the sunset. We loved the rustic decor in the home. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back if we visit this area again. Thank you Brendan.

Okari Cottage

AbiRating, 5 stars1 day ago

A really nice air b and b, so clean and well equipped, host had thought of everything. Just one thing there was no communication prior to arrival which left me worried that we would turn up and not be able to access the property, shouldn’t have worried but would have been better to have some instructions from the host about access. Other than that a perfect property in an excellent location with the best sunset you will ever see.

Punakaiki Retreat

DebRating, 5 stars2 days ago

This was our last stop on our two week trip around central New Zealand. We stayed in many lovely air bnbs but this one was by far the best! The view of the ocean, the privacy, the spaciousness, the nature, and the hot tub under the stars made this stay our absolute favorite! AND the beach below the home is the most beautiful beach I’ve ever been to! 10/10 highly recommend staying here!

Luxury Seaview Apartment, 2 Bedroom/2 Bathroom

JianRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This is a huge suite filled with luxury. Everything felt like a 5 star hotel. The top floor has a huge bed room with separate closest space. The bathroom is huge with a large spa tub that is quite enjoyable. The top floor also has a beautiful ocean view and we watched the sunset which is beautiful. The ground floor has a huge living area and a very large kitchen and desperate dinning area. If you like to spoil yourself and family with a bit of luxury, this is the place for you.

Hokitika Firestation - Chief Henshaw Apartment

KathrynRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Well the pictures instantly appealed- but it’s much larger in real life. The accessibility for me of being able to check in at 9pm was very helpful and as I had a lot of gear with me having the door at the front was very useful for loading and unloading. The details in the memrobilia were very interesting and yet a classic collection that was visually appealing A very classy apartment. Also much warmer and quieter that I had expected.

Rain forest apartment.

RosalieRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We only stayed here for one night on our journey up the coast, but it was easy to find, very quiet and a spacious apartment. We walked to Pancake rock (which was interesting) then walked the Pororari river track, which was good and not crowded. The people in the information centre were very helpful. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to go on the beach but it looked nice.

Sunny warm Haven

JonRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Super suite right next to Paparoa. I loved being on the top floor, surrounded by palm trees, birdsong, and the sound of the ocean. It is possible to do an inspired hiking loop without driving by walking down to Paparoa track, cutting south in the inland track, and circling back to the cottage. This will take you past the caverns, pancake rocks, and some of the best hiking around. I felt the suite was very cozy and had a warm feeling.

The Church House

RossRating, 5 stars6 days ago

We found Kirsty’s place to be spotlessly clean and very warm. The shower was great and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location is perfect for cycling the Wilderness Trail (to Ross and back one day and a loop up through Cowboy’s Paradise another). And a very short walk to the centre of Hokitika. We would definitely recommend.
