Wonderful stay at Stopforths Motel!!! Rooms are relatively modern and clean, well equipped, and spacious enough for our family of 3. Option for connected rooms with our extended family. Service is 5-star. Sonia is amazing, from providing recommendations at check-in and preparing the perfect breakfast. Really appreciate the staff for working hard over the holiday season. We considered booking a seemingly older accommodation that’s nearer to town/beach but so glad we stayed with Stopforths instead.

None.

Nicely updated, super comfortable bed and comfortable room with well equipped kitchenette. Quiet location but only a short walk into town.

The room was listed as having a washing machine but it was in the motel laundry and there was a charge for use. Not a major issue but room listing was certainly ambiguous. We felt it was pretty expensive for a motel (albeit a very nicely updated one).

I was immediately impressed upon entering the room. It felt nice and refreshing. The accommodation was very clean, modern, and of excellent quality. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making for a great night's sleep. The host was fantastic as well, when my family friend got sunburnt, they kindly offered something to help ease the discomfort.

Room was great. A step up from many of the other motels and hotels that we've stayed in. A good size room, good bathroom with spa bath and separate shower. Good little kitchenette, just right for a short stay.Just a short walk to the town centre, that was an unexpectedly interesting little town. Well worth a stop over.

Large modern room, great location easy walk into town centre. Good car parking, quiet location. The room we had also had a spa bath which was nice after being out on the cycling trails for the day. Reception recommended places to eat in town.

The best places I stayed during our entire New Zealand trip. Neat , Clean , equipped,

It's a bit pricey compared to big cities in NZ, as the city doesn't have any attractions to see. Most tourists stay here because it's located between Queenstown and Christchurch.

Super comfortable bed and slept amazing. The shower has great pressure and loved the spa, too. Almost everything you need in the kitchen. Also, it's super peaceful as there is no road noise at all but still close to everything.

Just because nothing is perfect, it would have been great to have sizzors in the kitchen.

This is a family run motel with very friendly and informative owners. It looks like you are pulling into someone's home, but the motel is hidden behind. The room was large and lovely with a full kitchen, and even had a jacuzzi. The beds were super comfortable. The town of Hokatika is a seaside gem with beach walks and colorful rocks. The town is small enough to walk about, but large enough to have all the services available and interesting shops.
