The room is located at the front of a most amazing house, which sits on very nice grounds. It felt very comfortable to stay there, and it was good to have breakfast in the morning.
The later check-in time of 5pm proved a little tricky for us in the end - our mistake for not checking before arriving in Hokitika - but Hilke provided clear instructions for us when we missed them in the evening.
Hilke was super friendly and a joy to chat with in the morning.
