Richard is a great host, with his wonderful home in the small town of Hokitika. The place was super clean, and had everything we needed. There is lots of room, as well space to park a car. I was with two co workers on a side trip to see more of New Zealand outside the cities, and what we found was nice people like Richard as well beaches and mountains nearby. He took the time to tell more about the area and what to see and where to eat dinner, as well talk about life there. If your in the area I would recommend visitors stay here.
