Oozing Luminaries all around it, a skip to the beach & river for amazing views, this comfortable cottage ticks all the boxes for the price.
Position is everything & Crooked Mile is in the most perfect place in Hokitika. Quiet, Quiet, Quiet. Hokitika has many trucks rolling through it and more modern looking properties can be quite noisy. This accommodation is so quiet & is a simple stroll to town, without crossing any busy roads. We left the kids to study, as we ventured out on days where there wasn't a cloud on Sky, sea and mountains. The kids simply popped down the road to get lunch, snacks etc.
Cool nights were easily relived by the fireplace, which easily dried washing & the bathroom whilst small was enough for 5 of us. We didn't cook as Hokitika has fabulous places to eat, however the kitchen was easy for breakfast and lunch, thus dishes were easy to keep under control.
Beds were comfortable and we didn't need the electric blankets or heaters in the rooms as the fireplace kept the house warm.
There are modern and five-star places to stay in Hokitika, with all the mod-cons. This is not one of them. If you are looking for this, as the information says, don't stay here. However - if you are looking for a 100-year-old cottage, that is super comfortable, has history all around it and especially if you plan to read the Luminaries, this is the place for you.
We had stayed here before, but first review. It's a great place to stay in Hokitika. You simply hear the sea rolling, there are no parties, like in the motels/hotels & if you can see that this is a comfortable stay in a 100-year-old cottage, crooked mile is the place for you
