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

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.

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.

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.
