Top Ruatapu Hotel Reviews

Jade Court Motor Lodge

8/10 Good

"Close to town, reasonable price, immaculately clean, laundry but no cloths line. Unit very cold on arrival, took a while to warm up."

Hokitikas Kiwi Holiday Park and Motels

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent facility, everything you need, great management. Highly recommend."

Beachfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"Loved the location, friendly staff and the restaurant was great. Especially liked. The helpful and friendly attitude of the staff member when we had breakfast. As we’re traveling the South island we chose the cheapest room which was definitely value for money. Clean and had everything we needed. Even though it was roadside it didn’t seem noisey. I feel we should have paid for a Seaview room though and we would have enjoyed the stay more."

Theatre Royal Hotel Kumara

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed w nights in the miners cottage and it was absolutely superb for our needs. Had our kids visit and play cards one evening and the other night we just blobbed out. Nice and quiet, and well appointed. The cottage had everything we needed and the meal we had in the bar after 6 hours driving was damned good. The service was fab and the staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly. Will happily stay there again."

"There was parking outside every unit for 1 vehicle. The rooms were fresh and provided the needed towels and blankets. Extra pillows and blankets in the room too. The owner Simon went above and beyond when we arrived, during a power cut (Narly storm chased us into Hokitika). He made sure we knew what was open for food and that we had a candle for a room until the power came back on."
