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.

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.
