We statyed at Rimu Lodge for 2 nights and loved the peace and quiet of the area - had great weather!!! The hosts Peter and Helen presented us with lovely wine on the great expansive deck overlooking the Hokitika River. Very polite and friendly and made us feel very welcome. This is the best 5 star lodge/b&b we have stayed... more

We recently stayed at Rimu Lodge for one night in early September and found the lodge and room offered very comfortable. It has lovely views however we did find the nightly rate to be a bit steep for what was basically a room in someones house. The rate that was charged should really be approprate for a five star hotel,... more

Rimu Lodge is located approximately seven kilometers south of the town of Hoktikia. The lodge is modern and lovely. The setting is in the area of Rimu and sits on a bluff overlooking a river valley. My room was large and bright. There was direct access to a large deck that spans the entire backside of the lodge. This is... more

Rimu lodge is the most wonderful accommodation we stayed in during our 3 weeks to NZ. The rooms were spacious, immaculate and modern with a fabulous view of the river. It has a huge lounge area for guests and you don't feel as though you are under the owners feet as their accommodation is completely separate. The owners couldn't do... more

Welcomed from when we first arrived, we were greeted with glasses of champagne and made to feel very comfortable. Fantastic value for the price, the room was expansive with nice touches like complimentary soft drinks in the room. Amazing views, delicious breakfast - well worth the visit. more

Ambience: Modern, luxurious and homely all at the same time. Room: Nice and spacious, with very large bathroom. As we'd climbed for 6hrs on Fox Glacer a nice bathroom and shower... more

I don't have much to add. We really liked the Rimu Lodge. Our room and bathroom (on the ground floor) were large and and clean and the view was gorgeous. I enjoyed the stacks of magazines on the table outside our room and the comfy armchairs in the room. There was milk in our little fridge and coffee and tea... more

My husband and I recently returned from a 15 day trip to the South Island of New Zealand. We stayed at a total of 9 B&Bs during our trip, and Rimu Lodge was probably our favorite! Everything about the Rimu Lodge was great- the views from the back deck were unbelievable, the owners were helpful and friendly, the breakfast was... more

Aside from the spectacular views, Rimu Lodge 's Helen and Peter provide such a warm reception, and great local tips. The airy lounge is stunning, and we found our guest room to be very clean, well-cared for, very well furnished (with contemporary, clean colours and furniture), and very comfortable. Bathroom superb, with great shower as well. Without doubt, one of... more
