The place was a great jumping off point for Hokitika. We stopped in to get out of a storm, and got so much more than we expected. We enjoyed the storm from the hot tub (which is covered). There's also a big, beautiful bathtub. The kitchen and pantry are well stocked, so cooking is easy. The most unexpected delight was the neighborhood cat, who came and joined us to hang out while we played board games (also taking shelter from the storm, I suppose).
