This was our first night's accommodation on the South Island and a good start to our holiday. We stayed in a King Chalet with a verandah. It was well set up, very clean and comfortable. They are right on the beach so great for walks, though it's not in town so you need to think about that if you're going... More

We had a beachfront chalet which was lovely. Very comfortable, very well equipped, lovely views. It's a drive to the town but lovely walks on the beach. We went to see the glow worms. Remember to take a torch. We forgot! Very helpful staff who refunded the wifi charge when it didn't connect for us. No hesitation in recommending this... More

We stayed in Hokitika for one night and had an excellent time. The town of Hokitika is very charming and looks like it's from another era. We spent a lot of our time exploring the town which is only a five minute drive from the hotel. Something that we did not expect was the farm! There are a large variety... More

Recently stayed in a beach front chalet - which was well appointed - with all the creature comforts. Bathroom was well set up and included heating along with heated towel rails which was not available in other accommodation we had stayed in. Enjoyed drinks along with fish and chips on our balcony watching the sun setting - stunning. As a... More

What somewhere a litlle different to stay? This is it. The very comfortable log cabin chalets have everything you need. A step out the door and there is a farmyard in the middle of the complex! The kids will love the alpaca's, goats, ducks, sheep and the very big pig! A minutes walk to the beach to appreciate the rugged... More

We (my wife, 2-year old kid & I) stayed here on a recent trip around the South Island. First things first: my son LOVED being (practically) on a FARM for our stay. I couldn't believe they had sheep, cows, alpacas, a goat, a pig and ducks all on this nice little beachfront property. And NO, we were NOT overcome by... More

Great place to stay with direct beach access. The cabins with the mezzanine floors on the beach front are fantastic. The management were great and very obliging, nothing was s problem. Would definately stay here again and recommend to others. More

We arrived at Shining Star Beachfront Accommodation after a long drive from Kaikoura via Arthurs Pass. Our beachfront chalet (studio) was great - you could see and hear the ocean very clearly. A very short walk and you were on the beach. Lovely big king bed that was very comfy! The park is very popular and I would suggest making... More

Children's play area is a great touch and has safe quality equipment. They even have a few animals for the kids to look at. Beach with the awesome Tasman sea rolling in... More
