Hokitika is a strange little town, but it has a certain charm. Actually Paul's place, which is located right downtown, was my favorite part of the visit. It has a sense of history and the decor is original, with some period pieces and some very contemporary touches. Big windows and tall ceilings and the bedrooms are lovely. Paul has a lot of nice touches (thanks for the Porto!) and he was a wonderful host. Great memories of this place, would definitely recommend.
