We stayed here for 2 nights at Paul and Lynley's lovely homestead. Hokitika is a 15 minute drive away. Very welcoming and helpful hosts, everything you needed and a superb home made breakfast. Highly recommend a stay here.

The house is located about 12 km from Hokitika, along Route 6 and just behind the narrow-gauge trainline (with one train per day!). You need to go through quite thick vegetation on both sides of the driveway before getting to the building. The rooms are either in the main house or in the lodge nearby. The décor is traditional and neat with that warm, cosy feeling. Beds are comfortable. Hosts left some treats in the fridge, and out, for us to sample. There is a well-tended garden right outside. The owners, Linley and Paul, were absolutely fabulous and couldn’t do enough for us. Paul is a mine of local knowledge and seems to know everyone. He helped us to secure a late reservation at the restaurant in Hokitika – Thatcher & Small - where we went for a great dinner. We came back for a wee walk along the beach across the main road. Just magical! In the morning we were in for another treat: vegetarian muffins, freshly cooked breakfast with a lot of variety, banana bread and home-made jams! Shame we missed the home-made dinner as that needs to be booked 48 hours in advance! Definitely one of the best places we stayed at on our travels across this magnificent country.

We loved this place! We stayed in the self contained 2 bedroom apartment and it was fastidiously clean, well equipped with generously sized towels, bathrobes and little treats (chocolates, chips and fruit and an assortment of drinks). As well the lovely hosts supplied us with delicious banana bread. We do love thoughtful touches. The apartment is completely private which we love but the lovely hosts Paul and Lynley are there if you need them. It is a lovely family run operation. with their grandson Jack. They have a lovely dog Abbey who so generously put up with all the pats we couldn't help but lavish on her she was such a nice dog. Just like the hosts she respects your privacy but she is there if you need her. The beds are so comfy. You can look out the window and see sheep grazing contentedly in the field. You can walk across to the beach. It is a short drive out of the cool little town of Hokitita so you do need a car. We loved our stay so much we extended our one night booking to two nights. We would stay again and we would recommend.
