Blue Spur Studio is a great stopover for those wanting to be Hokitika based but slightly rural. While some basic amenities were lacking, the hosts are really lovely and were super-accommodating with our extra guest and letting us do laundry etc. The studio is right next to the main house, so expect the usual to-ing and fro-ing noises of a busy family, but the ambiance is pleasant with chooks to watch, a horse close by and a very friendly dog to make a fuss of. Thanks Marty and Amanda.
