- "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."

- "Had a cosy 2 nights. Enjoyed some of the walks nearby, and restaurants in town that you suggested." - "This cottage was comfortable, full of character and also history. Great location being a stones throw from the beach and easy walk to shops and cafes etc.. Would definitely stay there again. one of the best places we stayed on our trip. on our trip" - "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"

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."

It’s a complete home to yourself with well appointed rooms, full kitchen, washer, two decks to follow the sun, an easy walk to the beach as well as walkable to downtown Hokitika With all that it is still peaceful and quiet.

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. "
