Stayed at the Kingsgate Hotel in Greymouth for one night with my sisters and mother. I can…read moreconfidently say that this is a good, spacious yet cozy hotel. Though I have experienced better hotels overall, it is definitely worth the price it is. I demoted one star due to the lack of vegetarian dishes at the downstairs restaurant, as they offered only two dishes: the flatbread (delicious, might I add) and the soup of the day, tomato and capsicum. However, they do provide gluten-free dishes, and what we ate for dinner was simply fantastic. The fish was fresh and excellently-cooked, the steak (medium-rare is what I order) could have been cooked a tiny bit better but was near-perfect combined with the fries, egg, gravy, and pepper sauce. The pasta was deliciously creamy and filling, definitely worth the price. The flatbread, pesto and Parmesan, as well as the chili and mozzarella, was divine, would definitely recommend buying a couple for the table. Excellent, highly-commended service at the restaurant and reception, very friendly and willing to help. As for the rooms, they are spacious, cleanly: not the most modern of rooms but the fantastic beds make up for it: may be the most comfortable mattress I've slept on. The bathroom was definitely a show-stopper, with a spacious shower, clean, modern, fresh feel and complimentary goodies along with the room. The coffee and tea selection was fantastic, and the milk was very appreciated. I would recommend this hotel to families: we booked twin rooms and were very impressed and pleased, to say the least.

Shower has no lip on the floor so its the kind that gets water all over everything that this part of the world seems to love so much. No bugs and a nice big heater to keep the place warm at night. Highly recommend these apartments for a good stay in Hokitika.

The local recommendations guidebook led us to the Glow Worm Dell and Kharun Thai, two of the highlights of our time in Hokitika. The office receptionist recommended Hokitika Gorge to us at checkout which was a highlight of our trip!

While our room didn't overlook the ocean like others, we were right behind them so the beach was just a minute walk away. There was also a glow worm area right across the street from the hotel! We went and it was amazing! I can't believe it's just there for free and every other place charges to see the glow worms. The room was hard to stay in. But you get what you pay for. The DVD system didn't work so we couldn't watch the DVD we picked out from the office. The bathroom was small with no counter space and the heater in our room wasn't working. I was also bitten by a bunch of mosquitos. I may pay a little extra next time to stay at the new beachfront hotel in town.

We didn't spend much time there during the day since we were out sightseeing, but I can definitely say it was nice and cosy in the evenings. Even when it was super cold and rainy we stayed toasty all night. Lolly had everything you'd need for making meals but we did our cooking in the communal kitchen as we were staying at the retreat with friends. The kitchen was clean and very well stocked with everything you need to make a nice meal. The communal bathrooms and toilets were also nice and clean. Also, I took Kate's Saturday morning yoga class and it was absolutely lovely. We didn't book our stay at Greenstone Retreat because of the yoga (our main reasons were the price and location) but Kate's yoga class is what makes me want to go back. I would love to go back for one of her yoga weekend retreats.

I let plenty of accomodations go without reviews here, but I felt I should review this one because…read moreit was small, little-known, and great. "Resort" is an apt term for the quiet, green surroundings and exceptionally comfortable beds. It's much quieter than a hostel, but has a good range of amenities and spot-on internet despite the rural location. There's pretty much nothing in terms of restaurants or stores near here, and in general when traveling through NZ I would advise buying food in whatever big town you arrive in, but cooking the food I brought here was a breeze. Everything was incredibly clean and well-maintained. The location makes it ideal for a stop while traveling across the country through Arthur's pass or up the coast, and it is one of few choices as the whole region is really quite rural. The host seems rather into Eastern religions and it was a take off your shoes kind of place with what looked like Nepali prayer flags out front. There was also a rather lively dog. It is a small business, and you do have to pay cash (or Paypal, but not cards), but you should be traveling with cash, and your stay here, for what it is, will not cost too much. If I could have done anything differently when visiting the area, I would have stayed another night here as it was certainly the most relaxed sleep I got.
