Though the listing states that the unit is a semi-detached studio, I missed that bit (my fault!) so was surprised to find that the bach is basically a subdivided house. There is PLENTY of space and has a nice layout. Unfortunately for us, the "neighbours" we had in the attached studio were loud and rude, yelling between each other until 1am, and with children up yelling before 8am. So much for our weekend of sleeping in!

The location is fantastic, just a few k's north of Hokitia, easy access to town but rural enough to feel secluded (except from above!!). We enjoyed several hikes in the area- I cant say enough about the Goldsborough area, so much cooler than expected! And of course the gorge was lovely.

The bed is comfy and extra heating appreciated as it was cold and wet when we visited- as Hokitika frequently is. There was plenty of info on the wall, and we were sorry to miss kayaking and eel feeding due to the rain. Next time!
