Cosy and cracking view

Lovely cosy villa - as it’s name suggests right on the Hokitika river. Clean, comfortable, and nice and quiet - and the powerful hot shower was awesome! We enjoyed the stay.

Great one night stopover

We were in transit, relocating from one end of the South Island to the other and needed a one night stopover. We were travelling with a small puppy and were having difficulty finding somewhere dog friendly. Riverview was a great option, very comfortable and we appreciate the host allowing us to have a dog stay too. Shame we were passing through and only had 1 night

Homely, felt so comfortable. Everything a home would have. Loved having the cleaning gears and vacuum. Loved it for 4 nights like our own home. Safe spot right next to the river. Generous dry firewood. Could take a breath in the green surroundings, beats a motel anyway. Beautiful True Kiwi host. We felt nurtured by a beauty spot. Thank you Whanau.

Not far from town but on the outskirts, either drive or cycle the excellent cycleways to town. Huge property, quiet and private. Really well equipped. A good place to be central to everything but come to for rest and relaxing. Great find.

Sunny Hokitika

Nice large house with lots of appliances and utensils. Well set up. Friendly hosts to make you feel at home.The kitchen and bathroom /laundry mostly clean just needing attention to detail like top of the fridge, rangehood and cobwebs. These are minor things on the whole it was pretty clean.Would not hesitate to come back to stay again.Recommended.

Great for our family

Perfect for us, the place had everything we needed (and then some). A wonderful base for us, just up the road to the centre, or the treetop walk/ziplining and walks along the beach. Beautiful view of the river, great bird life too. Playground and toys for kids. Thank you very much, a real home away from home.
