Khách sạn Kokatahi

"The chalet on the ocean front was lovely! Kim was very friendly and helpful!"

"Friendly staff Clean room A great one night stay just a short walk to the main strip and beach. Hosts were very helpful and forthcoming with recommendations."

"Best accommodation we stayed at on the South Island so far on our trip."

"All went well!"

"Literally the cleanest room I’ve ever stayed in…and my expectations are sky high! Place looked and felt brand new. No wall scuffs, no nasty grout, no warn carpet. It was adorable! Location was great too. Easy parking and just a short walk to the beach and the restaurants in town."

"There was parking outside every unit for 1 vehicle. The rooms were fresh and provided the needed towels and blankets. Extra pillows and blankets in the room too. The owner Simon went above and beyond when we arrived, during a power cut (Narly storm chased us into Hokitika). He made sure we knew what was open for food and that we had a candle for a room until the power came back on."

"Enjoyed a lovely overnight stay here. The room was clean and tidy, and the staff were helpful and friendly throughout. A great stay overall — would happily come back😊"

"I am a carpenter and a painter so I really notice when any room I’m in needs attention. The room we stayed in was very clean, tidy and well decorated. The only thing I would suggest is a decent sharp knife and bread knife. Thanks for the great stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend to anyone."

"Endroit magnifique et très propre. Idéal pour les familles. Très calme et tout le confort qu’il faut !"

"WARNING: only hotel in the world with a 16:00 check in. If you can’t be bothered to staff the hotel at least leave a key box like every other hotel. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to waste waiting for 16:00 so checked into the Beachfront hotel in town for the same price and standard check in. "

"We have stayed there several times. Close to evetyhing"

"Historical motel with a good description but the location is not close to the restaurant and supermarket. Good to stay for a night for a drive break on road trip."

"Beautiful place and owner is amazing person"

"We loved our stay in the Blackhouse Cottage, and wished we could have stayed longer. It was gorgeously appointed and well set out. The beds were super comfortable and we were snug and warm in the cold. So cozy and the perfect place to unwind and relax. We would stay here again and again. "

"Hello we book for 2 days, we knew we were staying in a basic room but were never told that it was packed with children rugby players waking us up at 5 am bouncing balls continually. Let alone the toilets trashed. We had to use. Our duvet on our bed had had a dog sleep on it and definitely not washed, Top 10 (NO WAY) Very expensive for pitifully looked after"

"Room was quite musty smelling. Carpet old and in need of a deep clean at least or replacing. The sofa also old and smelly. I wouldnt want to sit on it. Kitchen fixtures also old and inside them could do with a good clean and replacement or removal of liners. "

"Rooms are very basic but the staff/manager were excellent, going above and beyond to accommodate our needs."

"Really friendly, we were made to feel welcomed. Small touches went a long way."

"At the time of writing, this hotel has a 9.2 on Expedia. That is truly absurd. This hotel is old (they don’t call it “historic” for nothing) and run down (featuring peeling wallpaper, a saggy matress, threadbare carpet and a kitchen that looks like it was built in the 80s). Making things worse, there is literally not a single thing of interest in Kumara (it only exists because it is a stop on the West Coast Wilderness Trail). Unless you’re using this hotel as a way to break your cycle trip, I...
