Hokitika - cool little town; has apparently won awards for being Aotearoa's most welcoming too.
I couldn't agree more.
The Favourite Husband and I were the annoying early birds looking for hot coffee on a freezing morning. We decided to give Stumpers a go. I'm so glad we did.
The ladies behind the counter were super cheerful and friendly. The coffee was good. Let me fast forward to the food. The eggs Benedict with bacon was perfect. Crispy bacon, perfect poached eggs and a delicious hollandaise. The Favourite Husband had his usual big breakkie and was not only silenced by it (thank the lord) but also beaten by it. Unless he's coming down with something it must have been enormous to have defeated him clearing his plate!
Great value for money too. Hokitika has been on my wish list for more years than I care to remember. I am finally here, in this beautiful little piece of paradise and this morning's start to the experience at Stumpers got it off with a cheer and a wave. We'll be back ...
