The Host’d Experience - Stories of Stays, Shared

The true essence of Host’d is found in the stories of those who’ve lived it - guests who’ve felt at home and owners who trust us to care for their properties.

Here’s what they have to say:

“Host’d and their Hokitika home is truly a gem! The WOW factor when you walk in is incredible and you cannot beat the view and sound of the ocean. Everything is so beautifully designed and decorated.

Claire and Sandy made our short time in Hokitika so special! They helped us quickly book this accommodation last minute when our plans changed and shared personalized recommendations to make sure we made the most of our stay.”

“Stunning location, amazing hosts... a perfect week. The weather turned it on for us and we cannot rate Host'd properties highly enough for the beautiful settings and thoughtful touches or wonderful communication. We have already booked our third stay using Host'd later this year.”

— Vanessa Henry

“One of the coolest beach houses ever! So comfortable, charming, safe, and filled with special touches. A month in NZ and this was by far one of the best places (and we stayed in some great ones!). The town itself has so much charm and we enjoyed seeing the local driftwood art as we walked the beach. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

— Chris & Wendy Sanders

“We had the most stunning, relaxing stay at this divine beach side property.
We can not fault it and want to stay again.
The service before our stay was seamless and we had every need met and provided for.
Having our own beach, walks around ruatapu and a short drive to the town ship was so handy.”

“One of the nicest bnb’s we stayed at on the South Island. Hokitika is a wonderful spot, and Claire was an excellent host. We stayed two nights here on a family holiday driving around the South Island and would highly recommend it.”
