Situated right in the heart of Hokitika this is a great place to stay, and the Hosts Frances and Brian are just a delight, we spent a lot of time chatting and learning all about the house, the town and the local history. The suite w essayed in was excellent and had everything you could hope for in a B&B.... More

This was one of 11 B&B stops over both islands during a 22 night tour this march. To begin with we were a little concerned as the property seemed to be surrounded by commercial buildings and warehouses. However, we were soon made welcome and found our rooms to be clean, well appointed and comfortable. Our hosts were very attentive and... More

After a trying day of transportation from Arthur's Pass involving broken down buses, Tiechelmann's was simply an oasis. We were upgraded to the Garden Cottage which was everything you could need.

My partner places the breakfast into his top rating slot with eggs, crisp bacon and an assortment of breakfast delights. Tempting to linger a little longer... More

Had an excellent stay here during the Wildfoods Festival. The accommodation was lovely, complete with very nice toiletries. The food was very nice indeed. The BEST shortbread cookies ever! Lovely breakfast. Good location. Very friendly and attentive hosts. Highly recommend this spot.

We received such a warm welcome from Frances and Brian. This B&B is excellent. The rooms are bright, comfortable, cozy, quiet, roomy. The house is relaxed. The hosts immediately put you at ease. These are people living content lives at peace. I think the town may bring that out in the locals. We arrived after a much delayed journey. We... More

We stayed in the garden cottage and it was delightful- well appointed and comfortable with a huge ensuite bathroom and a lovely glass window onto a ferny alcove with historical artifacts placed in it. Our hosts were friendly and enthusiastic and Brian was happy to tell us about the history of Hokitika and ...Teichelmann ! The breakfast was great and... More
