After a long day on the West Coast Trail, Brett's place was a welcome sight. It is literally on the trail and has everything you need in the unit. The unit is pretty much new and very clean.
I liked his place as it is about 20 minutes (by bike) before Hokitika and I wanted a bit longer ride on my final day to Ross. There is a pub about 1k down the road where you can get dinner and some beers.
I got leisurely start around Noon, grabbed breakfast in Hokitika and was in Ross by 3pm -- it's a quick day.
Brett is an avid tramper (hiker) and cyclist, so he can give you the run down on everything on the West Coast. Really enjoyed our conversations and will be back my next trip to NZ.
