We loved our stay at Claire’s property! The house was huge and the furnishings and design were well considered to be beautiful, functional and comfortable. When torrential rain struck, none of us were sad to be trapped inside because the house was so lovely. Hokitika was a great place to visit and I would highly recommend basing yourself out of this house - it’s right by the beach to capitalise on the excellent sunsets, and you can fall asleep to the sound of waves lapping. For 3 Aussie adults travelling around New Zealand for a month, this is the best place we’ve stayed by far.
