We found this motel by chance and it was the first one on the seaside as you enter the village of Hokitika from the north. We had a cabin right on the beach with views of the sea. The cabin was one of 3 in a row and once inside you would not of known you had neighbours. There was... More

Great location on the beach well away from highway. Attractive wooden lodges, well fitted out. Full facilities. A short drive to town centre. Full cooking facilities and a good supermarket in the town make for easy self catering.

Shining Star is located just north of Hokitiki and our unit was almost right on the beach. We arrived during a stormy period but we had some breaks in the weather which allowed us to visit a few places. One of these was the glow worms across the road - worth a visit at night. The owners/managers were very helpful... More

We were a group of four and found the one bedroom self-contained units at the Shining Star to be very cosy, comfortable and great for cooking your own food. The accommodation is situated approximately 2km from the town centre and overlooks a beautiful, rugged beach. We really enjoyed our stay and were very glad to spend three nights in Hokitika.... More

Enjoy the superb sunset from your deck plus you are so close to the supermarket that a trip there for goodies for dinner makes staying home a pleasure. Make sure you ask them for your FREE wifi...

The rooms were really nice log style cabins right near the beach (we had a beachfront chalet). It was a king size bed and a roomy self contained... More

By far, my favourite accommodation of our trip. Located right at the edge of Hokitika, this establishment is family friendly and even has spots for camper vans! We chose the beach front chalet and they weren't kidding when they named it that. Our chalet faced the beach and if you take a short 2 minute walk, you get to enjoy... More
