I recently stayed at Shining Star Beach Front Accommodation in New Zealand, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The property boasts stunning beach views, and the location is perfect for a peaceful getaway. Many guests on Booking.com praised the cleanliness of the rooms and the helpfulness of the staff. One customer noted, "The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals." However, a few reviews on TripAdvisor mentioned that some units could use a bit of updating, particularly the bathrooms. Despite these minor issues, the cozy atmosphere and proximity to the beach make it a solid option for travelers seeking relaxation. Would recommend for those prioritizing location and value over luxury.
With direct beach access, and glow worms across the road, this accommodation
complex with a farmlet attached, is a great place to base yourself in Hokitikia.
A well laid out camp, with established plantings and manicured lawns, the
powered sites form a semi-circle on one side of the central log cabin-style
ablution building. These are smart and immaculately clean, with soap and
hairdryers supplied, free showers, and a disability facility. The other side of the
building houses a modern kitchen/lounge with all facilities, and a dining room
is adjacent. A half wall provides privacy for a TV and lounge room, a great
place to sit to check emails with the free Wi-Fi. You will find a BBQ sheltering
under the eaves, as well as a spa pool and sauna for a small charge. The
laundry has fully automated machines and is available 24 hours. Your friendly
hosts are Tracey and Lance. Powered sites $40 for two people, $30 for one,
children are $10. Tent sites $32 for two, or $24 for one adult, children are $8.
