Hawea Hotel

Location is near the Hokitika iconic landmark beside the beach. You can hear the waves and wind when you sleep, hence may not be suitable for people who are light sleepers. This hotel has all the necessary amenities and the front desk receptionist is friendly.

房間挺大，風景一流！

Stayed here for one night on our tour of the South Island Great room with fantastic views Although the room was a bit tired everything worked and was sparkling clean and for the money for 3 adults (295 NZ$) we felt it was very worth it. Staff friendly Didn’t go to the restaurant but looked ok Has a lot of family things in it ie outdoor play equipment for the kiddies etc

We broke up our drive by stopping here for the night. The rooms were good with a nice view of the lake. The balcony didn’t feel super safe but the view made up for it. Comfortable and clean we enjoyed it. The meal at the pub was fantastic and all staff super friendly!

A little off the beaten track, but a local gem with great views over the lake. Lots of indoor seating to beat the cold and a few outdoor tables for those wanting a drink and feed and to enjoy the views. Had a quick stop and a crisp local wine to check things out.

We stayed for 2 nights as a family with friends in another room. The rooms a big with upstairs with a queen and single and a super king down stairs. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and went out of their way to help and make our stay enjoyable. Somethings need updating ie carpet and could do with a paint, but understand owners to over at the start of COVID so not much money in the pot to do these things. Rooms were very clean, and suited us very well. We will definitely be back

The view is beautiful unfortunately that is the only positive. We booked the refurbished room and it is anything but, the carpets are worn and filthy, the bathroom has water damage. Basically the rooms is not at a good standard whatsoever. Paid $300 a night for this due to it being Easter weekend. Such a disappointment and disgrace they even advertise it as a refurbished room.

View from the hotel room is just breathtaking. Very peaceful & tranquil place to stay in after a long and delayed international flight. The unit sleeps 6, but I think it can comfortably sleep 3, as there is only 1 cabinet to keep clothes and no hooks to hang any bath towels in the bathroom, so to have 6 people in the unit is a big squeeze. Though the restaurant was closed by the time we got there, the person in charge got the kitchen staff to serve us a delicious meal of fish n chips, cheeseburger and pizza. Very friendly & good service.

This was a gem of a place with lovely views, set close to beautiful Lake Hawea. The pub offered delicious and reasonably-priced meals and the staff here were friendly and helpful. Our group of 4 had a fun time joining in their trivia night. We also stayed in the Lodge at the hotel. Rooms were very reasonably priced, small, but quiet, clean and comfortable. The kitchen / dining area was well set out also. We would definitely stay here again.
