"Clean room, helpful staff"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our stay at Sunset Lodge was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Elizabeth and Selwyn made us feel genuinely welcome — their warmth, friendliness and attention to detail truly go above and beyond. The food was absolutely fabulous — beautifully prepared, delicious, and thoughtfully presented, making each meal feel like a real treat. The lodge itself is perfectly located, offering peace, comfort and stunning surroundings that make it incredibly hard to leave. We honestly wish we could have stayed longer. If you’re planning a visit, do yourself a favour and stay at least two nights — one simply isn’t enough to soak in the atmosphere, hospitality and magic of this special place. A truly memorable stay — we can’t wait to return"

"Everything was amazing from the hosts, the most kind dog playing fetch with you, to the quiet beautiful nature, hot tube in the backyard, having candels as a light in the night. The story behinde cabin is amazing. They made everything by themselfs and the energy and looks are amazing. Would go back anytime! Amazing stay! "

"Friendly host and super helpful. The cottage is wonderful. Set in a different time period but functions perfectly. The grounds are also very nice and well maintained. Loved the Wekas and the cows next door."

"We stayed at Hokitika’s Kiwi Holiday Park and Motels for one night and didn’t have much time to explore the area. The property is well maintained and offers all the key facilities you’d expect. Our room was comfortable, and everything worked well for a short stopover. A solid choice if you’re passing through."

"Perfect location and very kind staffs"

"We had a great stay. The animals (alpacas and goats were fun), the glow worm fell was amazing (we liked it and we have previously been on a glow worm cave tour). The beach access was great. Room was clean and private."
