Ah, I can’t say enough about my time here. Jules’s warm welcome made me feel so at home and comfortable in the space. I was taking forever to drive up the West Coast and the hosts got back to me quickly after I got into service to assure me they would be around to check me in. The place was super easy to find. Peaceful and just out of town, but such an easy, quick drive to loads of interesting things. After the bustle of Queenstown, Hokitika was just what I needed. It’s an awesome little town, peaceful place with a vibe all its own. The Thai restaurant in town is delicious. I had white bait pizza near the beach. The Hokitika Regent cinema is beautiful, with interesting films. I saw the new South Korean film Decision to Leave there and loved it. The gorge was one of the most amazing places I visited throughout the country. I was all over New Zealand during my trip and this was my favorite stay. And the least expensive. I don’t have enough good things to say about these great hosts.
