Michael
I am a carpenter and a painter so I really notice when any room I’m in needs attention. The room we stayed in was very clean, tidy and well decorated. The only thing I would suggest is a decent sharp knife and bread knife. Thanks for the great stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend to anyone.
Rodney

Excellent motel. Clean hot water. Good kitchen facilities. Good bed
Catherine
Very spacious room, nice and clean and well equipped with a full kitchen. The location is a little out of town, but not too far and there is a little supermarket close by. The bed was comfortable.
I
Walkable to town (has New World supermarket) and beach. About 30 mins from Gorge. Definitely recommended for an overnight or longer stay.
Robert
Being on the main road the hotel was close to everything and easy to get around. Unit was very clean.
Risha
LI recently stayed in a studio apartment at this motel, and I can honestly say the room itself was the best I’ve ever experienced. It was absolutely spotless, exceptionally well-maintained, and equipped with all the essential facilities. I particularly appreciated having a cooktop, which made the stay even more convenient. The bathroom had clearly been renovated recently, with modern fittings and a fresh, stylish look that was a real standout.
The only downside to my stay was the host, Karen. Unfortunately, she was quite unwelcoming throughout most of our visit, which left a disappointing first impression. To her credit, she was still helpful when we needed advice, and she did finally smile on the day we checked out — but overall, a warmer approach would have made the stay feel much more inviting.
Despite this, the quality of the room itself was outstanding, and I would still consider staying here again for the excellent facilities and comfort.

A very nice unit, clean and tidy, spacious with a separate bedroom. Near town but also near the main road and railway - though neither really bothered us. Close to a beach too. Thanks for a good stay.

While the room was clean and the price was reasonable, the musty smell was absolutely awful and impossible to ignore. The unit was already open when I arrived, and as the evening went on the smell became even stronger, making the stay very uncomfortable

Clean room
Yvonne
We found the staff very polite and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable.
Sharon
The room was nice and clean white sheets and nice white soft towels which are high on my list!😊 However they really need to put blinds on the front door and maybe block out curtains it’s very bright so doesn’t encourage sleep. It’s a main road out front and train line at the back of the room that we stayed in.. the photo advertised shows a lake a little miss leading but overall nice.

Michelle
Absolute awful, couldn’t stop itching in the bed and property backs onto train tracks and from 5:30am we not only had the train sounding his horn but it actually vibrated the room when it went past. Receptionist was also quite unwelcoming.
Elizabeth
Our apartment was modern, clean, quiet and well equipped. The service was excellent and parking at the front door was very convenient. We liked the location and really appreciated the salt and pepper sachets and heated towel rack. Staff were pleasant and helpful. We loved our stay in Hokitika which was enhanced by our great accomodation.
Job
It’s an average motel, very close to the Glow worms deli.
David
Nice spacious clean and comfortable accommodation
Nice spacious one bedroom apartment with plenty of room. Clean, comfortable, warm and included everything needed for a short stay. Property is situated on the main road, though our room was toward the back so only minor noise from the road. A bit of a walk (around 10 minutes) to the town centre shops, cafes and restaurants. Enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

From checking in, the lady was lovely and very helpful. Our room was very spacious and covered all our needs even though we were only for one night.

This spot was adequate for our family 1 night stay. We felt the bathroom needed a little updating, but for what we needed it did okay.
Glenda

Leonie
Only stayed overnight here. Older style motel on main road into Hokitika. Clean & comfortable.
Celia
Just what we needed for a stopover, wish we had had time to stay another night but we didn’t sadly. Comfortable, well equipped and good location.
Helen
Ok, but room right by railway line and train woke us at 6am. Room not serviced although room compendium suggested it would be. Spacious but needed extra cushions on the sofas to be comfortable.
JANE
Clean, aired and convenient. Nicely greeted by staff
Norma
Great motel, clean, large room,
Susan
We booked this motel as it said it had air conditioning. It did not! Fortunately it was a cooler night so we managed. Noise from road. Location a short walk to town.
Michael
Decor last updated in the 1950s
Charlotte
They only stayed one night here, but we had everything we needed, and we were very comfortable.
Lee-anne
Bed needs replacing as you can see the dip in the mattress. Shower over the bathtub is very inconvenient, especially for those with knee, hip issues, and for short people especially as the handle hold is temporary and moves when you use it. Injuries may result
John
nice motor lodge
Michelle
Lovely stay , everything as expected. All i would say is the wifi was a bit slow. Mayby needs a update.

Bonnie
Clean and quiet. Poor wifi but doesn’t matter that much for me!
Joyce
Hotel was clean, kitchen was well stocked with needed pots, pans, dishes, coffee, tea etc. It was very quiet, rooms seemed well sound proofed. Staff was very friendly. We had a two bedroom unit with table for eating and lounge area - great for relaxing. The only negative was jets on the tub didn't work.
John
Excellent Choice in Hoki
Our standard one bedroom unit was very spacious including an enormous bathroom. Everything is in as new condition and sparkling clean. Spacious car parking, easy to manoeuvre.
Located on the main highway, rooms are quiet. 10 minutes walk to the CBD, 6 minutes to the Glow Worm Dell.
Very nice manager also.

Mary
Great sized room. Comfy beds. Lovely staff.
Rod
It is what it is. A motel to sleep for the night, get up the next day and go again. Had to choose between ventilation and noise....open the windows and it was a bit loud. But I guess that shows that most days it would be quiet, just we stayed when it was rare warm NZ summer days. A fan would have been nice though. Ultimately, the motel was fine.
Bob
Very comfortable but traffic noise bad
Gael and Peter
tv was crap,no sky and some crazy system.
michael
We had a large unit , very clean and spacious , good nights sleep.
John
Specious and lovely for an overnight stay!
👍 Like my review! We had an overnight night stay at Fitzherbert Court Motel in Hokitika, New Zealand as part of our journey across the country. We chose this place as a stopover due to the vibrant downtown, nearby beach (including its gorgeous sunset), Hokitika gorge, glow worms, and free parking. The checkin process was very smooth with our assigned room #9 and allocated parking space. The room was clean and spacious, bed and pillows were comfortable, jacuzzi bathtub had a shower, separate toilet room was convenient, the bathroom ventilation fan and towel warmer were nice, internet was optimal, outlets throughout and near the end of the bed were useful for charging, and several amenities (e.g. instant coffee, French press coffee grounds, tea, provided fresh milk, kettle, toaster, cutlery, utensils, cookware, microwave, stovetop, fridge, iron and ironing board) were helpful. The toiletries were simple with a soap bar and hair shampoo conditioner. They also provided an on-site laundromat and continental breakfast for a fee but the luggage hold after checkout was complimentary! There were a few things that could be improved in the room (e.g. loose cabinet screws, missing painting, tears on the curtain) but it did not bother us much because we needed a comfortable place to sleep. For example, the room was far away from the main street allowing some peace and quiet after a long day. Overall, we would be open to staying here again and would recommend it to our friends and family.
Carolyn
The property was clean, beds were comfortable and the manager Karen was friendly and helpful. We had a spa bath which you had to step over the side to get into,which could be difficult for older people. Very close to the glow worm dell.
