For the vast majority of travelers, Hokitika Airport (HKK) is the only logical choice, located within the city itself and offering immediate access to the downtown area via local taxis or rental cars. Travelers arriving via Westport Airport (WSZ), which serves the neighbouring city of Westport, must account for a significant drive or a multi-leg bus journey involving a transfer in Greymouth. Those landing at Christchurch International Airport (CHC) in the city of Christchurch face a longer transit, but this is the main international hub for the South Island, making it a common entry point for those combining their trip with a scenic journey on the TranzAlpine train or an InterCity coach. Finally, Richard Pearse Airport (TIU) in Timaru is the most distant and least practical option, recommended only for those specifically traveling to the Timaru region before heading to the West Coast. Budget travelers should prioritize flights to HKK to avoid the high costs and long durations associated with ground transfers from regional hubs.

Great location in Hokitika, right on the beach. A number of relaxed food places nearby, Fat Pipi Pizza was really good and Triple B Burgers had very large , nice tasting burgers. The standard King room was OK, close to the pictures, but it seemed that there was absolutely no soundproofing between rooms. The carpark was too small for the size of the hotel and the car spaces were too small to get in/out of easily.FromUS$78

In the town of hokitika on the west coast of New Zealand, very close to the Firefly Valley, the grasshopper needs a few minutes walk. In addition, the hokitika valley is also worth going, the water is blue and clear and bright. A little better in New Zealand, the attractions are basically free. We booked the cheapest room with no separate bathroom. In addition, pay attention to Trip.com can not contact the store directly. It is booked through other agents. The room type facilities in the middle may have errors.FromUS$36

The staff is very helpful, she asked me where to go when checking out, she told us the road is being blocked for our next next station. So that we can change our itinerary anc book another motel, otherwise our trip will be in a mess.
The motel location is good, only the walking distance can reach the town center and the beach. However the motel is quiet, we can hear the bird sound to wake us up.
But pls note that the motel do not provide toothpaste and toothbrush, remember bring them by yourself.Family friendly

The self-driving trip from Christchurch to Greymouth lasted until very late, and we went to Pancake Rock and West Piont, a nearby 1-hour drive. After checking out the accommodation, this one suited our requirements better, so we decided to drive a little longer. Hokkitika, it was already past 11 o'clock when we arrived at the hotel. I called the staff and told them to put the key directly in the room. This is a family suite with 2 rooms. Because I booked one bedroom and one living room, the other twin room was Not used.
There is a Glow Warm spot in Hokkitika, but I didn’t go there because I arrived too late.
The living room of the room is spacious and can be connected to the APP for screencasting. There is a wireless charger on the dining table. The bathroom is relatively large and the bed is surprisingly clean and comfortable. When I wake up in the morning and look at the sun outside, I can see the local residents outside the window. It feels like I am living in a small town. On, unique and beautiful memories. Everyone put the 🔑 on the office desk when they went out in the morning. Overall, the impression was very good. recommend! !FromUS$90
