We stayed at the Oceanside Retreat for a few nights and had an absolutely amazing experience. The location is perfect (even if the weather didn't cooperate!) and the cabin itself is comfortable, spacious and fully stocked with everything we needed. We had easy driving access to the town of Hokitika and the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers. All in all it was a wonderful place to come home to after a long, long hike. Colleen and Ray were extremely helpful and inviting. We would definitely stay here again, and hopefully we'll get to see a penguin next time!
