I am so glad we chose to stay in Sandra's place! It is extremely convenient, cute and clean. She's not kidding when she says beach access is easy - it's like a 2 minute amble down the road. And glow worms are maybe a three minute walk! Beautiful views of the night sky, very peaceful. If I were lucky enough to go to Hokitika again, I would definitely stay here. As a host, Sandra could not be more responsive, or helpful, providing tons of local guidance and even checking in on us when she was worried we might be stuck in a storm. We only had one minor hiccup - the stove wasn't working for us on our last night. But given how responsive Sandra is, no doubt she's fixed it already. It's really clear she wants everyone to have a great experience.
