Drifting Sands ligger langs den fantastiske og robuste vestkysten av New Zealands South Island, og er den perfekte stranden bach med det koselige hjemmet hjemmefra.
Hovedhuset har tre soverom og to bad med åpen kjøkkenløsning, stue og spisestue. Dette sover 9 personer. Et fjerde rom ligger vår strandhytte i hagen som fører direkte til stranden og kan sove ytterligere fem personer.
1930-tallets hus har en brølende pioner peis i salongen med Marley trådløs hi-fi og brettspill for å holde familie og venner underholdt. Kjøkkenet er fullt utstyrt med alt du trenger for å lage et godt måltid eller to.
Hvis du vandrer gjennom bakhagen, vil du finne deg selv på stranden, som er ideell for fiske, padling, eller bare nyte en spasertur som tar i det ville havet, utsikten og bredden av stranden så langt øyet kan se. Vi er så heldige å nyte slike flotte solnedganger med bål mens solen går ned. Ikke glem å holde øye med litt jadestein underveis! Spesielle forhold: Eiendommen er ikke designet for kjæledyr og ikke fullt inngjerdet men på forespørsel kan vi akseptere veloppdragen stille kjæledyr.

Amazing house with a lot of love for the detail and an amazing view
Amazing house with a lot of love for the detail and an amazing view!
Definitely worth every penny! The sunset in front of a private bondfire and whirlpool was amazing.
(only downside: no heating available - during the night it got a bit cold...; electric heaters would have been nice :) )
Drifting Sands has lovely access directly to the beach with views. Claire repurposes much in building materials and natural resources to create a unique space. The kitchen was well equipped. Claire is very available to answer questions or offer suggestions on what to see. She lives right upstairs so if home, she is there. The bathrooms are not en-suite and one is a bit away from the bedroom and lacks shelving. We had a delightful time and enjoyed it there.
This is a great property and Claire is a fantastic host.
Our group has stayed here twice now and it will be our preferred accommodation next time. I would highly recommend this property when visiting Hokitika.
Hokitika is a great place to stay. This house has the advantage of being a easy walking distance to shops and having the beach on your back doorstep. Blessed to have perfect weather to enjoy sitting on the back lawn, eating at the dining table on the beach, gorgeous sunsets and beach walks.
Wow, Drifting Sands is a hidden gem on the beach at Hokitika.
Claire is an amazing, generous host who goes out of her way to make sure you have the most relaxing, enjoyable, comfortable time in Hokitika. She was so helpful recommending cool local adventures to go on (when we were rained in for a day). From when we arrived with the fresh, warm raisin bed with homemade preserves, to taking our friends to see their first ever glow worms just up the road, to recommending the best Sunday night muso session at the Woodstock hotel, comfortable beds, good kitchen and a cosy coal fire after a day’s biking, you have to experience it to believe it!
The big brazier on the beach with the seating and long table meant we had a Wild West coast beach fire and enjoyed a divine sunset. The outdoor bath with a view another highlight, private with the sound of surf and nature, was pure outdoor bliss.
I cannot recommend this place highly enough especially with Coco the puppy and Hunter the cat.
The best West Coast hospitality you can ask for :-). Thank you Claire, Coco and Hunter for a perfect long weekend.
Quirky artwork and attention to detail with a home away from home feel. The beach is right on the doorstep. You can wine and dine on the amazing outdoor table and snuggle up around the brazier after stargazing from the heated outside tub. An easy walk to cafes and restaurants and a short car ride to the magnificent Buller Gorge and Treetop Walk. We came away knowing we will definitely be back :-)

Stay
Enjoyed our stay house wasn’t quite what I expected but we had a nice fire on the beach which was great
Excellent location right on the beach and a short walk from town. The owner was very friendly and helpful and provided fresh bread and lemon honey as a welcome gift. We all enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.
We really enjoyed our family stay at Drifting Sands. Claire was amazing She’s very warm, bubbly and friendly nothing was a problem. The property was very tidy and situated in an ideal spot close to town and right on the beach front. The homemade fruit bread was a nice bonus to wake up to in the morning!!
Will be back 😊
We had a great stay at Drifting Sands over New Year’s. It was the perfect place for a group of 12 people across 3 generations to ring in the New Year. Truly felt like the NZ Bach experience, and with excellent comforts!

Family time
Drifting Sands was an excellent opportunity for my family to spend quality time together.
The owner Claire was very welcoming and provided good knowledge of Hokitika and family activities
The accommodation was well equipped and spacious
The beach was easy to access and provided opportunity for the children to run off some energy as well as a place for the adults to relax in such a beautiful space.
Hokitika had plenty to offer for families such as eel feeding and live kiwi at the National Kiwi Centre, swing bridge at Hokitika Gorge, the Treetop Walk, a Glow worm dell, plus gold mining areas to explore.

Loved the welcome of freshly baked bread and spreads. Rooms and beds were very cosy and comfortable and the cottage has a lot of character.
Our members enjoyed the hot tub outside, access to the beach and the lovely friendly cat.

Fantastic location right beside the beach. wonderful to walk through the back yard to have peaceful walks gathering stones and driftwood. The house is spacious and everything is there for your comfort.
It is an easy walk to town or supermarket.
