Riwaka Holidays from NZ$816

Room was clean, and close to the beach

The owner was excellent. Super keen to make sure our stay was really good and we had everything we needed at all times. He was always happy, friendly and chatty, greeting me by my name every time he saw me. The room was spotlessly clean, kitchen had everything you could need and the towels were changed each day.

Great views from the Harris suite. The room was really lovely and spacious. We really liked the private decking area. The host was really friendly and helpful, and provided breakfast early so that we could check out early. Would have loved to have stayed longer.

To describe this place as oceanside is laughable. At best, it's estuary-side, and mostly the mudflats. I paid extra to have an "ocean" view, and that simply wasn't the case. We arrived mid afternoon and had to text a number to have someone come to the lobby. The room was fine, although certainly not high end. The people working that we saw, however, were super friendly. The restaurant next door is incredible! So, it's fine, but don't expect high end.
