this was the 3rd bella vista motel chain we checked in. as with other bella vista motels, it was near town center wthin walking distance to shops and restaurants. Room was clean and functional. But the waste bin had a sticker telling guests not to throw plastic and glass bottles into it. ????

On our second stay at Bella Vista, once again we found it to be modern and very clean, and ideal for our needs. Competitively priced and easily within walking distance of the local shops. The owner is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

This was one of 5 Bella Vista Motels that we stayed at during a recent trip through New Zealand. Like the others, this motel was convenient to shops, restaurants, and activities. Rooms were new, clean, and comfortable. The compact studios were indeed compact (but Wellington and Wanaka upgraded us to larger rooms). Staff was always friendly and helpful. Overall, a... More

This place is the perfect location for one night stopover. Room was very clean and functional with reasonable price. Perfect location in middle of town centre. Recommended for those who... More

The Bellavista at Hokitika is a perfect road trip stopover. It's a small complex with just 16 units and ours was a standard but with plenty of room for two. The main room which incorporates bed, desk, wardrobe and a very well stocked kitchenette, easily accommodates everything and the bathroom is very spacious too. On arrival we were offered choice...

Very clean unit. Everything you could want. Just beware - it is on a corner where large milk lorries are turning all day AND NIGHT but get a unit that is in the middle of the complex and you will be alright.
