Our family; including 8 adults, one child + infant; rented Claire's properties which were right next door to each other - Beachfront and Drifting Sands. It was Claire who helped us with the rentals to accommodate our large group. From our first contact with Claire she was very helpful and accommodating to our additional requests (especially with Frank the dog). Our family, which included 3 groups from Canada + 1 group from NZ, had the most marvellous time in Hokitika. We especially enjoyed the extra room at the back of Drifting Sands for our games night(s) when the kids were asleep.
We would gather at either place for dinners depending on the menu and outside temperatures. Being right on the beach was perfect for dog walking, kids playing, surfing, morning walks, beach fires and watching the sunsets. Thank you Claire for making our family reunion a very special time after being forced apart for years due to the Covid Pandemic. We loved it!
