Breakfast was great. This is possibly the cleanest place we have stayed in! The room was immaculate with beautiful hand crafted bespoke furniture. Susan and Den are amazing hosts and meeting them was a highlight of our trip. They work hard to create the perfect stay for their guests. The location was quiet and pretty. The Woodstock Pub has fantastic meals. Should we ever return to the West Coast, this would be our go to accommodation and we will be recommending it to our friends, family and fellow travellers.

The beach access, wild and rugged, easily accessible along the coast. If you into photography plenty of opportunities for great photos or painting. The kids loved the glow worms, it was not a big walk to view them - 20 meters of the roadside and free, you are able to make a donation at start of the trail for maintenance and upkeep of track, which would be wheelchair accessible. We went to the local picture theatre, seating and service very good. The glass blowing is amazing to watch, the kids and adults were quite intrigued. Shanty town was a great day trip, riding the train, learning early history of the coast - the best scones and coffee in the cafe, coming back to our base in Hokitika. If you are planning to dine in Hokitika then I would advise you book on arrival if you are spending a couple of days, if just overnight then google and book before you arrive, at evening dinner you are in competition with bus tours.

Nice town with some interesting information and artwork. Good location for visiting nearby places of interest, such as Ross (fantastic museum and hotel bar here) and the beautiful Lake Kaniere. Stayed only two nights, could have easily stayed four or five.

Hokitika is a welcoming town with a fascinating history set in a stunning landscape. It's a great base from which to explore the surrounding area - Lake Kaniere, the Hokitika Gorge, Lake Mahinapua, the Treetops walk and the gold town of Ross.

Lovely quirky beach town.
Lovely quirky beach town. So many walks and adventures on your doorstep. Really central for exploring the West Coast. Free activities close by, loved the glow worm cave and chips while watching the sunset. Very chilled, cool place. We were very lucky it didn’t rain while we were there and we miraculously missed the sandflies. Make sure you take spray for sandflies! If you like long walks then this is the place to go for some spectacular scenery.

Hokitika is nice and central to activity up and down the west coast, and there are lots of things to see and do. We had dinner at Stumpers and initially we thought the prices seemed high, but the food portions were huge and so tasty I would definitely go back. We did the Glacier helicopter ride in Franz Josef and The Shantytown and Monteith Brewery in Greymouth. We also visited the gorge but that was all we had time for. Loads of walks and other sites to see we just didn't have time.

Hokitika bills itself as a cool little town and it is true.
Hokitika bills itself as a cool little town and it is true. There are lots of things to do. The beach is a major attraction with a long area to walk and good sunset views. The town has some lovely greenstone shops and artisans. I always buy something when I'm in Hokitika. There are short walks, Hokitika Gorge and Lake Kaniere nearby.
The room was very comfortable, modern and was very clean. Rhe hotel is in a great location in Hokitika with so much food offerings on the doorstep. I only had dinner once in the hotels attached resteraunt and I very much enjoyed it. I got the steak and it was cooked to how I like and was a very generous portion. Staff throughout were very friendly and accomodating. Would gladly come back to stay.
My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Hokitika Pioneer Hotel! The rooms were clean, well presented and we enjoyed a great nights sleep on the comfortable beds! We were also impressed with the hot showers and mini kitchenette in the hallway, which was the perfect spot for our breakfast and coffee. Thanks for making our stay in Hokitika so wonderful! We will certainly be back soon!
We were warmly welcomed on arrival frendly customer service. Kiwi holiday park has everything you need , very new and clean and tidy and has a fun park for the kids to play right in the middle of the complex. The layout is fantastic. Very family friendly. Highly recommend if your staying in Hokitika This is the best place! Loved our stay here.
It was our anniversary and I asked for the best room possible for the price, the Receptionist allocated the perfect room.
Although we were in the older part of the Hotel, we had a lovely room with a view of the sea. The room was a good size with plenty of storage space.
Best motel I’ve stayed at during my journey through New Zealand so far. The room was modern and clean and most of all unlike the other motels I’ve been to so far the kitchen cabinets didn’t smell weird. Instead it smelled very fresh there. Would definitely come again.
We loved everything, friendly host, location, rooms where so much more then expected, like a 5 Star hotel and very accommodating right down to dietary requirements, very, very impressed and glad we booked. Highly recommend, thank you very much.
Located in the west coast town of Hokitika, this lovely home was clean, well equipped and walkable to town. Having three bedrooms for the three was great! Can’t praise the accommodation and ease of dealing with our host enough!
We got a puncture in Arthurs pass on the way to Hokitika and the Holiday park people went out of there way to organise someone to fix it on Sunday morning in time for us to make our booked Glacier flight at Fox.
Thanks guys
Very good, motel was very clean, had a kitchenette which was not always available in other motels so this was a bonus. Great hosts. Location was a little way out of Hokitika but nonetheless, location was fine.
Good sized room for a motel, with comfy bed, small kitchen, dining table, and sofa for chilling out in evening. Easy walk into Hokitika which has a fabulous beach, and views. Nice, friendly, helpful host.
Location is amazing! It did not fail to impress.
I love visiting Hokitika and the Beach Front hotel. Highly reccommended. Only disappointment was the restuarant wasnt open, however understandable.
The staff was very approachable. There was a mix-up with the room, but they sorted it out quickly. The hotel was close to everything, the beach, stores and supermarket. The room was well equipped.
This place is a little gem. Nice, quiet location, a huge bathroom, very clean, excellent food at the pub next door and a 10 minute drive into Hokitika. Highly recommended!
Beautiful secluded beach view location with easy access to hokitika and greymouth. Great meals served on site. Elizabeth and Selwyn are gracious hosts.
