Reviews of Pioneer Hotel
C.
We came for lunch on a sunny day. We had the pleasure of enjoying the garden space. It’s fenced in so the kids can wonder and toys supplies to keep them busy.
The food was lovely and the drinks were cold, and they came promptly. A great dinning experience we can’t wait to come back.
c.
Brilliant service ,looked after us with courtesy,integrity and l can't say it enough the service was spot on.Great team work so enjoyable ,lovely meal,the fish of the day so fresh and beautifully cooked and presented with salad& chips😊very happy..
D.
Great atmosphere, the people were really nice and our meal was lovely! Just like a home cooked one... 😁😁👍👍
L.
Came in for lunch, we had a great meal of fish n chips (orange roughy) followed by apple shortcake. Couldn't be bettered. And very helpful and friendly hosts. Definitely be back next time we're in Hokitika.
V.
We went to dinner last Friday night. The place was packed because of Christmas dos. We were served faster than we expected and my rib dinner and my partners lamb shank were deliciously tender and the portion size was perfect!
J.
Visited there for 2 nights with my good friend Noel Finch a couple of years ago. Food was good and the beer was cold. And slept like a baby. Thank you.
G.
Bit off the beaten track in Bealy street but worth the look. Beautifully restored historic Hokitika pub. Friendly staff and great value food. A new Hokitika favourite. So much better than the town’s central pubs
J.
Very good food, generous sized meal and very reasonable prices. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back.
K.
Excellent bar staff and super friendly locals. Awesome garden bar and fantastic food. Top notch.
K.
It was our first time here and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Delicious, fresh food with great friendly service. Hubby and I ordered the seafood chowder each as well as a main. The owners wife recommended we shared the chowder as it was very filling. She wasnt wrong. Appreciated the honesty. They could have just sold us 2 x chowders. Would highly recommend.
J.
Lovely genuine traditional pub great menu, full of locals.
P.
Highly recommend. Tidy, clean and roomy. Each room seems to have its own basin,(so handy) and the shared showers are large as and as mentioned, clean and tidy. Food very tasty too! And best of all, beer prices very reasonable. A+
L.
The food was great service lovely friendly staff.
J.
One of the best friendly hotel owners I have meet on our 6 month caravan life. The hotel is warm clean and very inviting. Food was very reasonable and delicious 4 + stars without question.
C.
Had some great lunches at the Pioneer over summer. Yummy food, friendly and most obliging service (we usually arrived with a baby and a high chair was immediately available). Definitely recommend a visit!
t.
First time there and it was great food amazing, service great and hospitality excellent. Used a voucher which was great. Moving down soon so will definitely be a pub we will visit again
A.
This is the best hostel that I have been in NZ so far. The service is outstanding, the room is tidy and neatly prepared, has a warmer blanket, and the location is brilliant. The only downside is a small kitchen (maybe because they have a bar, but since I have food restrictions, so I need to prepare the food my self) and the loud noise from the train (my wife thought it was an earthquake, but it just a train passing by).
W.
We just had dinner at the Pioneer Hotel, Chicken schnitzel with chips and salad for $20.00 delish ! Nice pool table, friendly happy staff, awesome outdoor area ( we ate outside in the sun) and a wee gamble on the pokies. We will definitely be back. Thanks :)
D.
Very friendly Locals. All though we had a great time here talking and playing pool with the locals I think my drinks were not what I was paying for. I ordered double G&T but when I watched the server pour the gin into the jigger it looked like a 30 ml + a bit. It certainly didn't taste like a double in a Short glass
J.
Had a meal with friends.

Huge servings, comfortable surroundings, & very pleasant staff too. Totally recommend .

Our motel recommended the restaurant at the Pioneer Hotel, the meals were both good value ùfor money and very tasty.
The staff and service can not be faulted either, friendand efficient.
We thoroughly recommend dining there when staying in Hokitika.
R.
The owners are very attentive and warm, the renovations and improvements wonderful. Do question $15 lunch menu. Thoughts, no frills, no restaurant quality, disappointed. Knowing there's a chef on the premise.
w.

The meals were perfect. Good restaurant quality food at reasonable prices. Beer tasted good and impressed with the service, quality and prices. Highly recommend
M.
I admit I was a little worried when I walked in here and it was a bar full of rough old men and not the backpackers I expected. But down the hall was the coziest little budget room of my entire trip, and the staff was super friendly. Free WiFi, space heaters, electric blankets, nice pillows. I slept like a baby! Highly recommend.
A.
Beautiful food. Great atmosphere. Fantastic staff. Really enjoyed the evening. Thank you. Highly recommend
E.
Great service, very reasonably priced food and drinks. Nice atmosphere and recommend for a night out that doesn't break the budget.
G.
Last night we went to the Pioneer Hotel for the 2 for 1meal offer and the meals we had were absolutely delicious and the service was great.
We highly recommend the Pioneer Hotel for their meals.
A.
What a gem of place to stay! Great facilities for all travellers. If your on a motorcycle trip the secure off street parking behind a locked gate is very reassuring. Short walk into town centre is another bonus.
D.
Well-run and immaculately clean. Best value for seafood chowder in my entire experience of NZ. Walls in the inn are not very sound-proof, but the price and cleanliness make up for that.
s.
Excellent food. Wonderful friendly service. Lovely outdoor area. Great place to meet up with family and friends.
A.
Had a wonderful dinner thanks very much
r.

K.
Good food, excellent staff!
P.
Lovely and cozy. The owner is friendly and rooms are beautiful. Perfect for a stay of 2-3 days. The town is very picturesque as well.
Don't bring your meal to the beach though, the seagulls attack.
A.
I only needed the room for a night. It was good for the price. Seemed clean and had the basic amenities. Only issue was the bed. It was very uncomfortable and I found myself waking up several times during the night because of it.
I would however stay here again. It was simple to check in and out. Staff were friendly. Bar out front so no need to walk anywhere for a drink.
C.
Nice meal and great service
D.

B.
Great food and staff. Very clean and tidy.
L.
Brilliant! Friendly people and bloody great meals service. Certainly value for money
C.
We stayed as a group of Mountain Bikers. Friendly atmosphere. Clean. Secure bike lock up and space out the back to get set up etc. Wilderness Trail right across the road. Close to town. With a taste of old school Kiwi pub =)
D.
John and Michelle run an honest unique hotel and my white bait fritter dinner exceeded my expectations. Their hospitality is second to none and couldn't do enough for me. I will stay there again because the Pioneer Hotel offered me security and good value.
D.
Friendly staff in a relaxing atmosphere. Great food in a fantastic outdoor setting.

Great meal and wonderful service. Will definitely be back.
K.
This budget accommodation is great! The WiFi is FAST!!! And beds are comfy. Only two toilets and two showers which makes it a bit challenging sometimes but it isn’t that big of a deal. The kitchen is a great addition with refrig, kettle, even dishes, cutting board, cutlery, etc. there is a 4 square market .3 miles away. The town is an easy 5 minute walk and the beach is 10 minutes! There is a cute picture of wooden Hokitika you must take!
W.
