Arthurstown Rd Riverview Holiday house Hokitika Spacious house sleeps 8.

Down a Country road, across from the river. With only 5mins drive to town.
A well equipped house with Freeview, free access to netflix, wifi available. Plenty of off road parking. We are also pet friendly.
With various activities around to keep you busy as you want.!
Maybe go down to the river to do a spot of fishing or Stroll along the beach track then head to one of Hokitika's many cafes for coffee. Wander around Hokitika's Craft Shops or out to the Hokitika Gorge then to the treetop walkway. Hire a bike and do the Bike Trail. See the Glow worms. Or maybe a game of golf. Or just out to the lakes.
Also a drive to the Franz Josef Glacier which is only one and a half hours drive or up to Punakaiki Pancake Rocks.
Then after a busy day back to the house- relax and on colder days light the fire or
switch on the heat pump.
Maybe head up to Woodstock tavern for that dinner and music. Or into town to Lunch/Dinner at Stumpers Restaurant or the Ocean View Restaurant.

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

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.
