We are only a 5min drive to the beach which is a beautifully wild place filled with amazing driftwood and pebbles - a great place for a bonfire.

Hokitika is the perfect place to base yourself while exploring the West Coast. All the best attractions are only a short drive away.

There are many easy bush walks close to our house, the closest winds through an old goldmine site dating back to the 1800's.

Take a walk through Hokitika town and see some of the sights mentioned in the Booker Prize winning author, Eleanor Catton's book, The Luminaries.

You really need at least two days in Hokitika to see most of the attractions.

A car is recommended to make the most of sightseeing but Hokitika Scenic Tours can drive you to most attractions.
We are 15mins from the airport.
The Tranz Alpine train comes into Greymouth Station 30 mins drive away.
The West Coast Cycle Trail is nearby.
Christchurch is 3 hours drive away over SH73 through Arthur's Pass.

As we are off-grid, we MUST be careful with our power. We do not have a microwave, air conditioning, dishwasher or electric blankets (we offer hotwater bottles in winter), but our house is very warm. Use of hairdryers is not permitted.
We cook on a woodstove in our kitchen. This also provides all the heating for the house. Water is collected from rainwater on the roof and totally safe to drink. In summer water is in short supply and we need to be careful with water use. We have cellphone coverage but it is not good.
**There is a TV in one room that can be used with Chromecast (it is not able to get satellite channels).**
Guests can not cook here.
The most eco friendly property on the West Coast. All solar powered. Rain water collection. We recycle. All food waste is feed to animals or composted. Go green! Stay with us!
