- "This is a pleasant summertime property relatively close to city center, with on-site car parking. Large living room on one end of building features TV, Wifi, games / books / toys for kids, and a wood stove. Kitchen was very functional and property clean. I would not recommend this property for winter occupancy, however. None of the bedrooms featured heat sources and the inside of the house on arrival felt colder than the outside. Some, but not all, beds feature electric heated blankets, if that is sufficient for you. In the living room, things didn't go better for us. The heat pump never blew anything but cold air. The wood stove looked like a promising but seeing that there was no wood stored nearby, I did not attempt to light it. The owner insists the heat pump works (maybe for him/her, not for us) and that there is fuel to be found for the stove in the shed behind the property. Rooting around in other peoples sheds for fuel is not my idea of a vacation. We left for warmer quarters. I don't doubt that this can be a great spot come summertime, especially if you enjoy lifting a pint or two at the nearby pub. Come wintertime, there are better multi-room options in Hokitika."

Convenience Plus! Cosy, relaxing, self contained, self catering, recently built, with tasteful, modern, minimalist, light and airy decor. The beach is just one house away, the glow worms are almost neighbours (at end of the street), the town centre is only a short walk of about 15 minutes away.
This house receives plenty of sun which is most prized in our climate. Comfy beds and a bath will help you relax and enjoy our part of the world
I loved the brief time I got to spend staying in this house. You may be the same and not want to leave. Beds are made up with fresh, clean, pressed linen before the arrival of each guest.
There is a deck at the rear where you can lie at night to watch the stars, while listening to the waves hit the beach. Our sunsets are fabulous so be sure to be at the beach to catch them. It's fun to start the day with a walk along the beach dodging the waves.
Hokitika has an airport if you wish to fly in. There is a taxi service available, but no town bus service. The town centre is a 15 minute walk away if you go via the street. If you go via the beach and want to enjoy the natural beauty of your surroundings it will likely take longer.
Our neighbourhood is quiet and safe. The beach and the glow worms/bush are almost right next door so be sure to go for a wander and some relaxation. Walk to town to visit cafes, local pounamu (jade) and gold artisans - go via the beach for a coastal experience (you'll be pleased you did). There are cafes/restaurants at the beach or overlooking the beach or drive a few minutes inland to dine with a coastal vista.

Claire is an amazing, generous host who goes out of her way to make sure you have the most relaxing, enjoyable, comfortable time in Hokitika. She was so helpful recommending cool local adventures to go on (when we were rained in for a day). From when we arrived with the fresh, warm raisin bed with homemade preserves, to taking our friends to see their first ever glow worms just up the road, to recommending the best Sunday night muso session at the Woodstock hotel, comfortable beds, good kitchen and a cosy coal fire after a day’s biking, you have to experience it to believe it! The big brazier on the beach with the seating and long table meant we had a Wild West coast beach fire and enjoyed a divine sunset. The outdoor bath with a view another highlight, private with the sound of surf and nature, was pure outdoor bliss. I cannot recommend this place highly enough especially with Coco the puppy and Hunter the cat. The best West Coast hospitality you can ask for :-). Thank you Claire, Coco and Hunter for a perfect long weekend."

Stay for a night or spend a few days and explore the whole of the West Coast from one base. Only one hours drive to Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki or one and a half hours to Franz Josef Glacier. Try the West Coast Tree Top Walk and enjoy the thrill of the new Zipline. Take a drive to Hokitika Gorge to walk the swing bridges and view the stunning turquoise blue water. Then relax and enjoy a peaceful nights sleep at the end of the day.
Check out the jade carving and glass blowing studios and browse the craft shops. Enjoy brunch, lunch or just coffee at one of Hokitika's excellent cafes. Try an ice cream at ‘Delighted’ on Tancred st.
Watch the sun set at Sunset Point.

THE SPACE: Gold Nugget Hut is a gorgeous little space created with all sorts of up-cycled and salvaged pieces we've collected over the years. We've incorporated hardwood power poles, reclaimed wood paneling, antique enamel cookware and collectibles within the site. The hut itself started off life as an industrial office in Greymouth. We relocated it, relined and clad it then added all the special touches. Almost everything is either up-cycled/repurposed and 2nd hand.
* The hut is perfect for a couple, with cosy indoor sleeping and a small seating area. Outside is an outdoor, covered kitchen and seating area - a great way to connect with the stunning Hokitika countryside.
* OUTSIDE, outdoor furniture and a campfire area are the perfect places to take in the farm vibe and stargaze.
* KITCHEN + COOKING: Gold Nugget Hut is self-catering, just bring your own food and drink, and cook meals using the facilities provided in your covered, outdoor kitchen. You'll find all the basic cooking supplies you'll need. Bring along any of your own essentials as well. A chilly bin is provided to keep food and drinks cool. You can cook on the campfire too, weather permitting.
*POWER: Gold Nugget Hut is completely off-the-grid (No power). There is a small power pack available to charge cell phones and small devices.
The shower is heated via a gas califont and cooking facilities are run via LPG bottles. Lighting runs on solar power.
WHEN YOU BOOK: Send us a brief message about yourself and make sure to tell us that you've read and understood what we offer.
*OPTIONAL S'MORES PLATTER: We offer a campfire night experience as an optional extra. Light a campfire, make s'mores. We provide a s'mores platter with everything you need to make delicious s'mores any style you like.
*SLEEPING ARRANGEMENT: The hut has a queen bed with 100% cotton sheets, a feather duvet inner and extra blankets. Towels are also provided.
*HIGHLIGHTS: You are welcome to walk the farm and meet the many animals. You can hand feed the friendly sheep and birds.
Bird lovers will delight in the abundance of fantails, tui, kereru, ruru and weka in the bush surrounding the hut.
WHAT TO BRING: Bring your own food and drinks. A head lamp or torch. A bag of ice to keep food cool. Insect repellent. Toiletries.
*There are several short walks through old gold mine workings nearby. It is a short drive to Hokitika Beach, the Hokitika Glow Worm Dell and the Hokitika Gorge. The incredible Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki is approximately 1hr 15mins drive.
* Staying at Gold Nugget Hut is like taking a step back in time. Hokitika was once a bustling gold-mining town, and remnants of the gold workings in the surrounding area, are reminiscent of a time when Blue Spur was populated by thousands of gold prospectors. Gold Nugget Hut is a modern pioneer-style mix.
* The hut is simple, rustic and quintessentially 'West Coast'. It's the perfect place to take time out, rest and soak up the breathtaking scenery of this wonderfully wild part of New Zealand. The hut has solar lighting, is fully insulated and off-grid.
Bring your marshmallows, sit by the fire and stargaze.
*LOCATION: The hut is 12 minutes drive from Hokitika township. It is on an elevated site looking out over Blue Spur Farm and the surrounding area. Behind the hut is lush native bush full of bird life. It is a very sunny sheltered, private spot.
- "Awesome off grid accommodation, warm bedroom and everything you need for camping. Great to see the animals too. " - "We loved our 'off grid' glamping experience. It had all our favourite things, openfires, camp kitchens and lots of friendly animals. Thank you Michelle." - "Wonderful place to visit. Good for getting out of the city " - "This is a very well thought-out property. We enjoyed our experience beyond expectations! It was raining while we were there, but it didn't matter a bit because the cooking facilities are under cover. In fact, it added to the fun of the experience. We were visited by the pig in the evening (a bit surprising) and by the dogs in the morning (absolutely delightful!) Would definitely stay again, although unfortunately the toilet was extremely smelly. "

Welcome to Mountain View Retreat, our holiday home on the outskirts of Hokitika.
Nestled in a peaceful, quiet setting, at the end of a well maintained gravel road (1.5km), Mountain View Retreat is on the way to Lake Kaniere, a popular summer playground for tourists.
Mountain View Retreat has absolutely stunning views of protected wetlands, with forestry and the majestic Southern Alps as the unbelievable backdrop.
Located right on the West Coast Wilderness Cycle track, this location is very desirable.
With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two lounges, there's plenty of room for all when the weather is not good. There are two heat-pumps providing heating and air-conditioning.
We have plenty of toys and games for the kids, and a bookcase full of interesting reading for the adults.
With a well-equipped kitchen, there are no shortage of options to cook, otherwise a short 6 minute drive takes you to the heart of Hokitika and the cafes / restaurants.

This memorable place is anything but ordinary.
Our Tui Studios are immersed in our natural landscape, surround by native Harakeke, allowing you to go with the peaceful flow, relax to the sound of singing birds and wildlife. Each en-suite and micro kitchen pod is individual, quirky and focused on your comfort. We have Queen & Twin Single configurations, so please specify when booking, we will always try our best to fulfil your request.
Out on the deck is a private BBQ & seating area.

Our wee boutique holiday park is set right at the beach in the small township of Ross, just 20 min's drive south of Hokitika. It’s a great place to kick back and relax, have a wee camp fire on the beach or gaze up at the stars The Park is pretty dark at night which makes for superb dark sky experiences!
Guest access
You will have sole use of your accommodation pod, and you are more than welcome to join other guests in our communal facilities of full camp kitchen, bbq, laundry and additional toilets and showers
Other things to note
Wifi ! The age old question.... NZ wifi can be a challenge, no more so than in remote parts of the West Coast.
We have installed the best system we can get, and have several boosters around the park, but some days that just doesn’t seem to help, So if you need reliable wifi it’s probably best to stay in the bigger towns, most of these now have fibre! Not the old adsl we have.
Still a favourite Top10 saying “you may not find great internet here, but you will find great connections”.
