The Hub
Fantastic property, very beautiful setting, house is full of character and has an amazing beach outlook. I would highly recommend this property, especially to anyone visiting from overseas or who has not experienced staying this close to the beach. One small bit of constructive critique however is the attempt to monetise almost every aspect of the stay - e.g. early check in and late check out is excessively monetised. Extra linen was left in an accessible area but also had a sign stating not for use - $10 per item charged. This just felt off and took away from what was a great stay (just slightly). That all being said it is a very unique and fun property. I would return again.

Piki Matiti beach house
Beautiful place nice and tidy. Nice and cosy place and everything what you need to relax and unwind! Thank you Ros to make us so welcome! We can't wait to come back!

Beach Cabin at Gentle Annie
Mokihinui is a very special place. Private, peaceful, with some of NZ’s most stunning scenery on your doorstep and an easy explore away. The bach is everything you need and the campground, approx 1km down the road provides great coffee. The Beach Cabin at Mokihinui was everything we were looking for. Thanks for sharing such a special place Jesse, keep up the great work! Brendon and Georgina.

Carters Beach Seaside Accommodation - 'The Bach'
We enjoyed a great long weekend here. It was wonderful to be able to bring our dog and the hosts were very friendly. Great location, right across from the domain and beach access.

Koru Barn. Includes Breakfast & Hot Tub.
We were able to book last minute on a rainy West Coast day and it was perfect. We soaked in the hot tub and slept so good in the comfortable bed. We would definitely come back!

CROOKED MILE COTTAGE - BY THE SEA history + charm
lovely rustic home in a fantastic location by the beach , great spot for a family get away

The Old Bakery - Waterfront Retreat in Collingwood
The perfect place to stay in Collingwood! The house is spacious and cosy and so convenient - it is literally a two-minute walk away from the general store and café, and we loved being able to walk everywhere we needed to go in Collingwood. Michael and Katja at Golden Bay Holiday Homes were very friendly and responsive and were flexible and kind when we had to make several changes to our booking, which we appreciated.

Idyllic Westland riverside house
Lovely home, filled with art and light. Wild and remote coast. Had a great time and our body was understanding when we briefly lost the key!

The Cookhouse - Beachside Hannah’s Clearing, Haast
Wow what an awesome place to stay! Beautiful house tastefully decorated with everything you could want. Loved all the special features of this place such as a great outdoor fire, so close to beautiful beach, spacious house, beautiful flooring, such comfortable beds, etc. Our family group loved our stay at The Cook's House!

Hill top Boutique Guest unit overlooking the sea
Staying at Anthea & Wayne's B&B was a delight! The clean, tidy bedroom offered stunning sunset sea views from the hill. The well-equipped kitchen was perfect for our needs for simple breakfast, and the outdoor BBQ added a lovely touch. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway! Five stars all the way!

The Church House
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.

Sunset View Point
Great location! Beautiful spot to see the sunset. Easy walk into town. Had everything we needed!

Old Bank Villa 5 Hamilton street
We had a great stay here! Walkable to the beach - beautiful sunset views - and to nearby restaurants and shops. The decor and building are unique, and we loved the little details and explanation of all of the renovations they put into the place! We found this to be a restful place to stay on our road trip up the coast and through Arthur's Pass. Shower pressure and temperature were great, and the kitchen has all you need. They even had a little milk in the fridge for us.

Nine Mile Beach Cottage
Fabulous,private and peaceful! Denise is an outstanding host, and the cottage is delightful! It had everything you could need, was very clean and the outlook toward the beach was stunning. A brilliant place to stay.

Punakaiki Retreat
This place is unbelievable. So beautiful. We had hiked the Heaphy Track and the spa was perfect to relax in after 78kms of walking.

Drifting Sands Beachfront Retreat
Absolutely outstanding, better than the description. Everything was perfect including hokitika itself. We will return

Ghost Lodge- beach getaway entire lodge
WOW. This stay was one in a million. It was amazing to arrive at the Ghost Lodge! We felt so at home and welcome in this amazing house and setting. It was absolutely immaculate, and the rooms were stunning. The backyard was awesome with a deck, chairs, and a beautiful outlook from upstairs and downstairs, and only a 20-second walk to an unspoiled beach. There were so many thoughtful touches that we appreciated (bread, cereal, excellent instructions, amazing and comfortable beds - we all had the best sleep!, all the tea towels, and the fire beautifully laid. Thank you Simon and Guy - you made us feel so very welcome and we look forward to staying in Ghost Lodge again.

AoMarama - Retreat in stunning setting for groups.
This is a stunning place to stay .the views , the gardens amazing . There were 15 of us ranging in age from 1 year to 68.we booked all the cabins and the house. We had our meals around the big table and played cards every night. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds . Lots of games and books there. Elizabeth and Duan and children were lovely and very responsive to any queries. It was a good lesson for us townies to be mindful of our water use as it’s reliant on rain water. We all loved our stay there. A New Zealand paradise

Jacksons Bay Beach House, paradise on the beach.
Clean and nice view from the sea, recommended!
