Located in Hokitika, 1.5 km from Hokitika Beach, Hokitika's Kiwi Holiday Park and Motels has a garden, parking on-site and rooms with free WiFi access. Nice and quiet neighbour. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had two children with us so the wonderful playground was the centre of attraction. The units were clean and the bed, including the sofa bed were comfortable. Location was good. Recommended to family visiting the Hokitika area.

Located opposite Pacific Ocean Beach, The Fairways Accommodation Kaikoura offers free WiFi. Some apartments offer mountain views and/or views of the golf course.. The studio was spacious for a couple, the king bed was comfortable for my partner who is 1.88, the room was clean, and the bathroom was spacious and clean. The location was tucked away and was very quiet, which we love. And easy access for us to continue our journey.
