A hotel has stood on these rolling hills, 4km southeast of Hokitika, since the 1860s. Today it's a smart, modern motel complex with plush units featuring king-sized beds (the larger units have a spa bath). With an on-site restaurant, patio, pond and waterwheel out the front, the Stations Inn conjures the right measure of nostalgia along with bang-up-to-date amenities.
