Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The bed was lovely and warm and the room was excellent. We were pleased with everything and our pet was happy too. Lots of room.
Hand basin seems to be blocked- and not a great place to wash dishes!
Location... quiet, with a really lovely view of the river and hills beyond; even had some frolicking sheep to watch in the field opposite the outdoor area, which is a great place to enjoy your beer and meal. The restaurant... it has the atmosphere of an age to be preserved. No music the night we were there but it must be awesome when it's 'all go'! Mitch... the front man for the restaurant and accommodation is friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and patient. Food... it was delicious with delicate flavors shining through. Craft beer... some of the best we've tasted. Cleanliness...the hotel units were pristine and Rebecca the housekeeper is deserving of praise for this.
It would be lovely if the plant boxes in front of the units could be kept up, as in past photos. The odor some mention was there a little. However, after visiting Hokitika Gorge and smelling the same thing when amongst native plants in varying stages of life and decay, we wonder if the smell may very well be the vegetation behind the units... a decaying, innocent culprit:)))?
Close to all the locations I like to explore
No clear outdoor tap to use if I need to clean something could have electric blankets in winter time but overall wasn’t freezing good value for money
Clean Spacesh
Too much noise though the walls
Bem próximo da cidade, possui um ótimo restaurante. O banheiro do quarto é bem espaçoso.
Check in at the restaurant next to the property. Clean.
Great location just outside Hokitika. Spacious room and bathroom
Carpet could use a refresh. Heating wasn’t good enough to get the room comfortable
Beautiful location and a decent room, pubs a decent pint of guinness aswell
Nothing too do with the property but No lighting on the main road
Good restaurant. Possibly best burger in New Zealand. Also good beer selection.
We had separate two bookings for one night because of last minute changes in planning. We asked at check-in if we could stay in the same room for both nights and we were told that it is not possible, without even a second to think or consider. We checked out the next morning at 10am from room n. 4 just to check-in the evening to the same room n.4, which just needed to be cleaned unnecessarily and we had to check-in and out from the same room. Terrible customer service. Lady at reception/bar looked very bored and bothered by us. Room number 4 doesnt have any wifi. It probably works in first room, but doesnt reach the last room.
We made a mistake on booking nights and owner followed up on a late credit via b.com website
Room was comfortable and clean. Had everything we needed. Pub was quirky. Amazing food and service.
Nil
Peaceful location. Well set up. Good meal in the hotel
Nothing
Rooms updated.
View from the verandah was of the Carpark and scrap vehicles. Manager not on site on arrival and pup closed. Email 24 hrs earlier said restaurant would be open. Called manager in morning but went to voice mail. Messaged manager through Booking.com no response to either. Did not stay for second night.
Situated slightly outside Hokitika with nice views, good sized rooms, easy parking,
The reason we chose it was because the pub was handy but was closed the night we stayed, it would've been nice to know this when we booked. So we had to drive back into Hokitika to find a place to eat. Could do with some bedside lighting as the over head lighting is very bright. The security lighting illuminates the bedroom all night which was a bit annoying.
Location
Two tiny rooms in one.

Strong odour of dampness in room. Drains or simelar? We left windows and door open throughout night to sleep as smell affected my respiratory issues.
Very clean and quiet with friendly staff at the pub. Also very spacious l.
Nothing
Great bar / restaurant attached to the hotel.
Location friendly staff and excellent Sunday roast on menu with live entertainment
A little far out of town
great
arrived late and staff stayed to accommodate me 👍
Great beds, nice craft beer, food was absolutly yummy.
Pub food good, accommodation good
It felt a little out of the way
Mooi plekje hoor! Glowworms in de buurt. Het restaurant is een aanrader!
Kamer was beetje muf, verder prima
Price was good compared. Close to hotel for meals.
A little way out of town.
Ruim Schoon Restaurant aan overkant (tweede maaltijd gratis op de dinsdagen; en toen waren wij er)
Afstand tot winkels/overige horeca
Très bon rapport qualité prix ; proximité des sites d'intérêt; Accueil sympa et professionnel
Rien
The rooms appeared clean and tidy and parking right out front. The pub has great meals and seemed homely.
The pungent smell of mould and dampness was overwhelming. It was too strong and made a feel unwell.
Really good location Great Pub with very friendly and helpful staff
Nothing all good
מיקום בסדר, כ-7 דקות מהעיירה, החדר נוח מאוד ונקי אם כי בסיסי, מסעדה צמודה מצויינת
חדר מאוד בסיסי
Comfortable, good location, basic but ok
Viel Platz, dank ruhiger Nachbarn auch ruhige Lage, ausgezeichnetes Gasthaus nebenan welches um 20 Uhr schließt
Hellhörig und eigenartiger Geruch
Well equiped with bar fridge, kettle, microwave. Nice big bathroom and comfy bed
There was a bit of an odor, like the room needed freshening. We tried to keep windows open to change the air, but the bugs were bad. It wasn't a horrible smell... Just a little stale.
Excellent location, staff are awesome, food was great. Couldn't ask for better for the price. Great pub
Clean and tidy. Big comfortable bed
Walls very thin
Room was a good size and spotlessly clean. Hotel was easy to find and conveniently located next to the main road.
Although the rooms were spotlessly clean they smelt ‘stale’. Opened all the doors and windows for 10 mins which cleared the smell. TV channels in our unit didn’t work and the owner who was really nice wasn’t able to sort it. The accommodation is described as dog friendly but when we asked the receptionist if there was a dog waste bin i was told they don’t have one and i would have to take dog waste away with me!, hardly dog friendly. The steps (including area under the hand rail) and the decking in front of the rooms were overgrown with weeds which looked really unsightly. Cleaner was awesome!
Comfortable bed and nice big bathroom
החדר היה נעים והיה שקט
המיקום קצת רחוק ממרכז העיר
We enjoyed a great meal at restaurant, impressive gluten free menu. Also had live music, good atmosphere 😊
The room itself was good and there was a bar serving food opposite.
The location wasn’t great. We overlooked wasteland used as a car park at the front and a septic tank at the back. The walls were so thing you could hear conversations in the adjacent rooms.
I’m very clean and have the staff very happy to talk to us nice food
The food in The Woody bar was excellent and the locals friendly
The room had a strong odor of mildew that aired out ok but the mozzies flooded in through the open windows.
Terrible smell had to leave the window open all night
Met by friendly staff, unit was spacious with comfy bed and great shower. The meal in the hotel was exceptional, and lovely to eat outdoors with a great view.
Bedside lights would have been really helpful and washing up liquid would have been useful to clean our breakfast dishes.
Lovely
Lovely friendly place to stay and good food too!
Nice quiet and close to town
Though the place was clean, the carpet smelled like dog.
Very nice and clean accommodation. There are also restaurants and bar you can take a dinner or just beer. Everything was perfect.
Friendly staff, comfortable beds, massive bathroom, tidy rooms.
One of the rooms had a slight off smell, like a pet smell. But overall very happy.
Very comfortable room with great shower. Liked the local vibe away from the tourist hype!
Mosquitoes came into the room at night so perhaps mesh/netting over windows?
cleanliness
the location
A calm, quiet "rural" option to stay overnight. The room was very tidy and the beds were excellent.
Not really a hotel/motel, but a few rooms at the backyard of a pub some 7min drive from Hokitika. However, the location was very calm and the accommodation better than expected!
4 check in was too late and rang to check in earlier. No answer
Spacious, clean and warm room, with a large bathroom and great shower. Appreciated being able to walk across the car park to the pub/ restaurant.
Location out of town but we knew and accepted that.
Cool location out of town and near old pub. Great value
Smell on entry, possibly cleaning products or damp, but unit was tidy. Walls a little thin.
Everything was perfect. We had a great time at this place.
Not applicable. Everything was perfect.
Friendly staff, massive room and bathroom which was comfortable
Quite noisy - the units are in the pub parking lot and there is fan noise from the kitchens and general noise you would expect from being in a park parking lot
very clean and comfortable. very nice personnel
It was very clean and tidy and it had a great shower.
It had a bit of a smell but that would have been from it being closed up. We opened the windows and doors for 5 minutes and it was ok.
I love the location and the staff are fantastic. Plus the food is always fantastic
