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

Hoki holiday

We enjoyed staying here, even our dog enjoyed all the space to roam (especially the river across the road). It was like a home away from home - had everything we needed. We would stay here again if we were to return back to Hokitika.

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.

Just the break we needed

This was the perfect holiday for my family. We stayed for 5 nights and found the house more than catered to our needs. Toys and DVDs for the kids not to mention an awesome fort! Bbq and great outdoor area for the grownups. We loved that it was out of town and nice and quiet. Would love to come back again.

Absolutely amazing, comfortable holiday house is lovely, peaceful setting! I cannot express how surprised I was at this wonderful find. Great view, quality beds and linens, large shower, well-equipped kitchen and outdoor table as well. I didn’t expect WiFi or a washing machine, which were added bonuses! I highly recommend the Hokitika Holiday Home! You will not be disappointed!

Overall, it is a nice place to stay. Easy and friendly communication with the host Lynley. The only disappointment was that the dvd player was not fully operational, as it had no sound. We had brought a few dvds with us that we hoped to use. Lynley did her best to try and solve this matter, but unfortunately it wasn't able to be fixed before we left. We recommend that this and any other devices be checked first before listing them as being available.
