We had a wonderful week–long stay here to enjoy the amazing beauty of the Hokitika region. There is so much to do here for the nature lover.
Kotuku cottage was perfect for our relaxing break. It's roomy, with a very comfortable bed, good cooking facilities and beautiful views to the Southern Alps and local waterways. Great breakfast provided, cereals, eggs, bread, yoghurt etc – very yummy... If you love animals, then there's plenty here from the friendly cat & dogs to ducks & calves!
Gaven & Cindy are amazing hosts, very friendly, always ready to help and provide advice on local attractions. Their Scenic Waterways cruise is highly recommended and kayaking up the Mahinapua creek is a wonderful way to enjoy the beauty of the waterways and white herons.
We found this a great location to base ourselves from to explore the region from the glaciers in the south to the Pancake rocks at Punakaiki in the north...
