4/10 – OK
22. juni 2019
This is a pleasant summertime property relatively close to city center, with on-site car parking. Large living room on one end of building features TV, Wifi, games / books / toys for kids, and a wood stove. Kitchen was very functional and property clean.
I would not recommend this property for winter occupancy, however. None of the bedrooms featured heat sources and the inside of the house on arrival felt colder than the outside. Some, but not all, beds feature electric heated blankets, if that is sufficient for you.
In the living room, things didn't go better for us. The heat pump never blew anything but cold air. The wood stove looked like a promising but seeing that there was no wood stored nearby, I did not attempt to light it.
The owner insists the heat pump works (maybe for him/her, not for us) and that there is fuel to be found for the stove in the shed behind the property. Rooting around in other peoples sheds for fuel is not my idea of a vacation. We left for warmer quarters.
I don't doubt that this can be a great spot come summertime, especially if you enjoy lifting a pint or two at the nearby pub. Come wintertime, there are better multi-room options in Hokitika.
