we had a great time as a family of 3 staying here - this would be ideal for a family especially one with kids as can sleep many on the bunk beds and there is a lovely outdoor space including a beautiful deck. location was excellent and kumara was the ideal spot for exploring the westcoast and close to both hokitika and greymouth. the kitchen was small but we found the hot plate more than adequate for cooking a simple dinner. the only issue was the wifi which dropped every few minutes - this was a non issue for us and I suspect is probably more a reflection of signal of the area. overall would highly recommend especially for those doing the west coast cycle trails
