Sandra's place was great! We had the chance to meet her briefly and she was very helpful at providing a few tidbits on things to see/places to eat. The house was perfect! The showers were an absolute dream especially after staying in so many hostels. There was even a heating blanket attached to one of the beds, so cozy! Having a dryer would've been a bonus since it was raining outside, but we opted to just relax and not do any laundry anyways. Would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone else looking for a little getaway in Hokitika!
