Lizzy's Laundry

About

Lizzy's Laundry serves South Island from 51 Sewell Street, Hokitika 7810, New Zealand. A 4.8 out of 5 score from 153 reviews reflects consistent satisfaction among the many people who have used it.

Reaching Lizzy's Laundry from the main resorts and towns is straightforward, with Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura all on the same island. Hokitika sits on the South Island's west coast, a stop on the route between the glaciers and the plains.

Opening hours run from 04:00 to 23:00 every day of the week, giving a long window for a wash between travel days. That span covers early starts before a drive and late returns after one, so a load can be fitted around almost any itinerary.

Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. Traffic drives on the left, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands. Fish and chips, meat pies and flat whites are everyday takeaway staples, handy for a quick meal while laundry cycles. Rugby union is followed closely nationwide, and the national team plays in black, so a match may draw a crowd to local venues.
