The Friendly West Coast - yousnoozeyoulose - 02-02-2022
Have never been to Hokitika, but given the number of random people I said "hi" to in Westport, that doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

My  Wife & Myself have just been to Westport 3 weeks ago & we loved our few days there too.
Everyone was very Friendly Helpful & Polite.
Some really lovely Cafes there too.  
We had dinner at Johnnys  Restaurant & Bar which was really Lovely too.  
Would Thoroughly Recommend Johnnys to Everyone. 
Also  Donaldsons Cafe out at Carters Beach is Excellent too. 
The Staff are also  Helpful  Friendly & Polite here & Happy to help.

We stopped at The Kaikoura Bakery for Lunch & it was Excellent. You have to sit outside as No tables inside the shop. You wouldnt even know there was any troubles on the road now as looks great now.
