Tess's place is pleasantly close to Hokitika Beach. It is walkable to the beach actually. After further exploration, the place is walkable to Hokitika's centre area with plenty of amenities. The supermarket is also within walking distance.
Best of all, the house is beautiful and has a large screen TV with internet and Netflix. The kitchen is also well stocked. Will definitely recommend to anyone wanting a vacation in Hokitika. 5 stars.
