Hokitika Fire Station Boutique Accommodation

Hokitika Fire Station Boutique Accommodation

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic stay at The Old Fire Station in Hokitika. It’s a really unique and beautifully converted property, full of character and charm, while still being comfortable and well equipped. The location was great for exploring Hokitika and the surrounding West Coast, and the property itself was a lovely place to come back to after a day out. Everything was clean, comfortable and thoughtfully presented. A really memorable place to stay and somewhere we would happily recommend. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again."

"Quiet area Glad no one else was staying either next door there- would have been tight parking. The bathtub was very nice. Figured it out how to use jets! What are the two knobs in the front for? Appreciate the kitchen being set up to cook ourself a basic meal. We did not use any of the bedding except I pillow( we did bring our own personal sheets-) Wonder if there is options for people to pay less since it less washing to do? The lighting had little variation options Very bright! Thank you"

"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."
