Empire - Hokitika

Great food, huge portions that are full of taste and friendly service. Obviously a local favorite, but very welcome to us tourists. Very recommended especially for those who need to hike and refuel.

We accidentally landed in this small village because our car broke off, but I must say that we enjoyed this stay in small hotel about a few rooms. Nice, clean place to stay. We had cozy double room with comfortable bed. Clean showers and toilets. Coffee and tea for free. We had nice dinner, not expensive drinks and we played darts, you can also play pool. So we had great times in not very happy party of our trips. People from the pub gave a ride to the city and pick us up again. Thank you. Very recommended. Cheers Barbora and Sean.

A real old West Coast hospitality, with good food and above average servings
