Featuring quiet street views, Amberlea Cottages features accommodation with balcony, around 1.1 km from Hokitika Beach. There is a private entrance at the holiday home for the convenience of those who stay. The holiday home offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Amberlea Cottages proved to be one of the best and cleanest accommodations we encountered during our road trip in the South Island. The hosts were exceptionally friendly. The kitchen was equipped with basic, good-quality cookware necessary for our stay. If you plan to stop at Hokitika, I highly recommend booking this place.
