Beachfront hotel — Hotel in South Island

Driftwood Twin Room. Matariki Weekend.

Fantastic service from very friendly and approachable staff. Didn't try the restaurant as we ran out of time, but we did intend to. Perfect location, with a very short (10sec) walk to the main street, with New World straight across the road, and Super Liquor in the carpark.

The room was alittle tatty in places (peeling paint etc), and lacked some basic amenities (plates, cutlery, microwave). Beds were very comfy though! Shower we found on the small side. Practical and clean, but rather tight if you are on the large-er end of the scale.

Overall, we highly recommend this hotel for its great location, comfortable rooms, and genuinely...

We booked an Ocean View Deluxe King Room for one night while we drove up the west coast from Wanaka to Nelson. We booked via the hotel website and checkin took 5 minutes. We really liked Hokitika, its defitintely a good option if you're driving the west coast. Our room on the 3rd floor had a small balcony and fab views over the beach. The room was large and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. Only 1 small negative, the safe was broken. Overall we thought the room was...
