The Country Cottage is fabulous! We only had a quick one night stay passing through the area, but as soon as we saw it we wished we had planned another day to stay there. The cottage is spacious but cozy and very well equipped. We actually went into town and got food to bring back home to prepare, so the kitchen was very handy. I loved being able to do laundry there too. Deborah was super thoughtful and even provided a few goodies on our arrival (we didn't end up eating them since we had just bought food but the thought was much appreciated!). It's an easy 15 min drive into downtown Hokitika, and it was nice to be in a country setting for a bit. Deborah was very friendly at check in and gave us tips for the area. Highly recommend staying here, and if you can, plan an extra night there and explore Hokitika some more.
