Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room is overpriced and extremely small. When we turned up at the door on the day, we were told insistently that we’d found the wrong place twice until we showed them your confirmation letter. The owner lady hadn’t checked first before her refusal of our entrance and made us feel so unwelcome. If it’s not because of the time of the day and our exhaustion, we’d have left and found another place. My husband and I are greatly disappointed.

Would come back to stay!

This place was lovely and spacious and very friendly. The beach run in the morning was my absolute favorite...it’s a short jog to miles and miles of pristine beach. My only warning is for the ladies with long hair...bring your own conditioner! The type they had in the shower didn’t work at all and I had a ‘rat’s nest’ until the next time I washed it with my own conditioner.

Don't miss this one!

Such an amazing stay! Most comfortable bed of our whole trip in NZ. The breakfast was super yummy with fresh baked banana bread, savory muffins, egg& cheese pies, fresh OJ and Kiwi Juice and more-- I'm still full from that breakfast. The location is great too-- close to town for dinner but lovely and quiet with a walking beach just across the road.

Lovely place to stay.

We only stayed for one night but it was a most welcome stay after driving all day. The two bedroom apartment had everything we needed, the beds were comfy, the kitchen was well equipped and the lounge was cozy. The bathroom was lovely and included a bath as well as the shower, and it was a nice touch that bubble bath had provided as this had been missing in other accommodation that we had stayed during our trip that had a bath. We arrived fairly late in the evening but our hosts welcomed us and even though we hadn't ordered breakfast, Lynley bought us up egg and bacon pies and quiche the next morning which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. It was a very comfortable stopover for us and we would definitely stay again and would have been happy to have spent more time there if our trip had allowed.

Ich hatte einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt im Awatuna Homestead. Linely und Paul sind tolle Gastgeber. Ich hatte auch das Nachtessen gebucht und es war sehr gut wie auch das Frühstück. Das Zimmer und Bad sind schön und sauber. Sehr zu empfehlen.

I stayed here because of the five star reviews and it earned them once again. The grounds are well manicured and lush. The rooms are large and very, very clean. The hosts are gracious and welcoming. They truly care whether you enjoyed your stay or not and that is felt. I highly recommend staying here.

With Heart

Lynley and Paul are wonderful hosts. They put their hearts into making it a great stay for their guests. Lynley, upon hearing that I am vegan fully accommodated me with a wonderful dinner. The nearby country roads are a great place for a bit of a walk about. In the morning, Lynley baked banana muffins from scratch which were also vegan (she even sent me on my way with an extra muffin which, due to staying in a rather remote spot the next evening, was my dinner!). You’ll without a doubt enjoy your stay.

Great stay at the Awatuna Homestead +++

Best part of the Awatuna Homestead is clearly what comes out of the kitchen. The couple that manage the place are absolutely adorable. The place is comfortable, very convenient and close to Hokitika and its airport. You can get to Pancake Rocks and Franz Josef easily from the Homestead. We recommend highly. Don't miss a visit to the Hokitika Gorge!

Quiet, countryside location, but only a 10 minute drive into town. Very comfortable throughout. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Highly recommended.
