Ann’s place is gorgeous. We were only there for one quick night but would definitely go back. The house is sparkling clean with a very beautiful view of the beach (actually just a few steps from the property!), lovely amenities like the rainfall shower and laundry. Hokitika is very hip and lively but the part of the neighborhood where Ann’s cottage is situated is perfect because it is quieter and still just a short walk down the beach for the restaurants. An even shorter walk over to the natural glow worm dell. Would highly recommend this stay to anyone. Thank you, Ann!
