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.

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.

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.
