It was beautifully presented, it felt like we were the first to use an expensively renovated property. Every thought had been put in to ensuring we had every facility we would need. We loved it!

Only a couple of things which with the floor plate of the (vintage) property you can’t do anything about. A second bathroom (or just toilet) and a bit more room in the one side of the bed in the master. But neither diminished our enjoyment at staying at such a well thought through and kitted out apartment. I only mention constructively in case you are in the business of kitting out future properties. Thank you for letting us use your fab l place

We loved everything about our 1 night stay. It was a beautiful boutique apartment that had everything you needed in the room. The owners did an amazing job with decorating the building, I loved the photos and names of past firefighters to identify each room. So may interesting 'things' in and around the entrance of the building and in our room. It had so much character, especially the old fire engine parked out the front. Loved, loved, loved our stay at Hokitika Fire Station Boutique Accommodation.

We were only able to stay 1 night this time, we will be back.

If we could give the Fire Station Accommodation and their staff 11/10 we would. We stayed in the 3 bedroom Chief Henshaw ground floor apartment and it was amazing. Modern features to a historic building. Marvellous attention to detail, very clean and the staff were very easy to deal with. Situated in a quiet street within easy walk of great restaurants and bars. Highly recommend you won’t be disappointed

Nothing. If I had to be really picky the bedrooms are narrow with not a lot of room beside the bed to squeeze out but this didn’t worry us

Absolutely lovely. Everything thought of and provided. The renovation of an old fire station has been done superbly. Washing facilities downstairs were best we’ve experienced on our journeys. Room spacious and bed super comfy.

Heat Pump! 😢 The heat pump started up every 10mins and literally sounded like a car starting up and driving slowly down our driveway. (We live on 5 acres out of town). I woke up so many times during the night in a panic only to sink back realising it was the heat pump. Not sure what you do to stop this, but for this reason (and this reason only) we wouldn’t stay again. Which is sad cause everything else is perfect and I’ve rated as such 😘

Location was central to where I wanted to be able to walk to. There was a table so I could do a little necessary work. Parking very convenient. We got a ground floor apartment and so I did not have to drag a heavy bag up the stairs.

Air conditioning only in the lounge room. It faced away from bedrooms and so the bedrooms were hot and stuffy. Our front door did not lock when closed. This meant that we left the apartment and anyone with access to the block (other guests & staff) could have entered our apartment. The door needs to close properly or a sign on the back of the door to remind guests to bang the door closed.

Very unique accomidation. Awesome rooms, clean, comfortable, modern. Staff were helpful and accomidating, great location.. I felt like this accomdidation got all the little things right too, big mugs for coffee and tea, real milk in the fridge, washer and dryer as well as laundry liquid free..lots of free parking..the Fire Station was an exceptional accomidation and a fun and comfortable experience.

Nothing, it was honestly pretty close to perfect.

The town of Hokitika is an absolute hidden gem. Friendly residents, delicious food (Hokitaki Sandwich Company was visited twice in one day!) and a beach ripe for building forts out of washed up wood. The jewel in the town is the Fire Station Accommodation. Old fire trucks to take a photo with, plus rooms filled with everything you need - including multiple coffee options! A very fun experience staying in the Station.

This was the most unique accomodation during my 2 weeks in NZ. When I first saw it online, I had to try it and it did not dissapoint. The place itself was converted very tastfully from an old fire station and the room was big, beautifully renovated and very comfortable. Parking was plentiful and the free laundry facilities were very welcome... Highly recommend this place to anyone. The walk along the beach was really nice and a sunset shot of the beach sign is a must-do.

Location was spot on for what we needed & bed was very comfortable. The decor was great & the ease of getting into the property was very good. It was really good having a coffee machine too!

Just a small thing, but with the tv on the wall behind the bed rather than on the opposite wall, it was a little difficult to watch tv in bed.

Great stay! The lodge is located just off the CBD of Hokitika and a short walk to the beach. What was really nice is that due to a physical issue, I found it a challenge to carry our suitcases upstairs. I emailed the hosts and they promptly arranged for us to stay in a larger downstairs unit, at the same cost. (It just happened to be available for the nights we stayed.) Also, the firestation decor was a lot of fun. Kitchen was great and well equiped for out breakfast preparation.

No complaints!
