After a long day of driving through Arthurs Pass we arrived at Hokitika and to our accomodation at Billy's by the beach. First of all the location is fantastic, just a couple of hundred meters, if that from the local shops (supermarket, pub, bottle o, etc). Upon arrival we discovered it was just as though we were arriving at a home away from home. perfect for families, the home was clean, the kitchen stocked with all necessary cooking equipment, not to mention there was the basic spreads, bread, oil etc. we didnt even need to do anything for brekky as it was the basics supplied. The beds were extremly soft and comfy and to top it off our daughter had toys to play with and a nice comfortable cot to sleep in ( nice high chair also supplied). Full laundry facilities and the lounge room had a great heater and seating and the carpet was super soft (which our daughter loved). In conclusion we would highly recommend and if we are back in hokitika this will be our go to accomodation.
