We were welcomed warmly and Elizabeth gave us some suggestions that were spot on. The town was delightful with a large supermarket and a thriving pizza outlet. Elizabeth's place was one of the prettiest we have stayed in with a magnificent view and a comfy bed! The kitchen was well stocked with things like clingwrap so we were able to make sandwiches for our next day's adventures. We visited the lake on our way out which was another good reason to stay at Hokitika
