The History of the Hokitika Fire Station Hotel

Our story really begins back in 1864, when Maori found gold near the Taramakau River while looking for pounanu (greenstone). News soon spread, and the area’s population exploded. As the township developed from hastily pitched canvas tents to closely built houses, the need grew for a fire station to meet the ever-present threat of fire. During your stay you’ll find constant reminders of our proud history.
