Hokitika is an easy flight from Wellington or Christchurch or a stunning drive through one of our passes from Nelson, Canterbury or Otago. The flight into the Hokitika airport is often a new experience for travelers due to the size of the aircrafts and on a clear day the scenery makes the trip something not to miss. If you're driving the scenery seems to change with every township. Some 600km in length, the West Coast Region of the South Island of New Zealand is a long sliver no wider than 70km at any one point. With the Tasman sea beating against its coastline - beautiful, rugged and full of natures most incredible find's.
Hokitika is an ideal location to base yourself and explore a landscape that still has areas untouched by man.
Whilst the environment is natural, rugged and untouched, it is not all back to basics - the arts, the coffee, the food are also to be explored. Everything that we recommend on this site has been personally tested and tasted, sometimes several times over.
It's an immersion in all that is New Zealand. Hokitika and the surrounding West Coast area is not just an experience for international tourists. Its an experience for all New Zealanders.
