Property information

Nestled in native gardens with an exclusive walkway direct to the beach, this unique Hokitika accommodation is ideal for families and couples wanting space, tranquility and peacefulness. Our apartments and chalets are situated far away from the hustle and bustle - giving you the opportunity to relax in comfort and enjoy exploring Hokitika and the surrounding area. Take a walk on the secluded beach directly from the properties access, visit our animals, and at night take a walk to our magical glow-worm dell.

Neighbourhood information

We are directly across the road from Hokitika's Glow Worm Dell. This is an open and free attraction that is enjoyable anytime after dark. We are right by the sea (only a small paddock between us and the beach). The beach can be used as a walking trail to the town center. Town is full of interesting shops. In particular, visitors often enjoy the jade shops filled with work from local carvers. There are many great bushwalks nearby.
