Hokitika River

Explore the West Coast from Teichelmann’s Bed & Breakfast, Hokitika

The West Coast of the Southern Alps of New Zealand’s South Island is a unique area of absolutely breathtaking scenery. It includes the soaring mountain peaks of Aoraki Mount Cook and Mount Tasman, New Zealand’s highest and second highest mountains respectively as well as renowned Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers which descend from the high snowfields almost to sea level.

Glacier Country

You’ll discover wild wilderness beaches, tranquil lakes, dense lush rainforests, waterfalls and rivers all set between high snowcapped mountains and the Tasman Sea.

Stay awhile and experience the delightful hospitality of Teichelmann’s Bed & Breakfast in Hokitika and explore this wonderful area with all its fascinating history, geology, attractions and adventure.

Brian and Frances will help you with local information, advice and bookings for tours, sightseeing and activities.
