Imagine a place so pristine, beautiful and peaceful that you will be immediately struck by the absolute silence and the sheer majesty of your surroundings. A land that time has forgotten, where you can truly relax and take in the splendour of native New Zealand bush, snow clad mountains and the Hokitika River running through fertile farmlands. Rimu Lodge is this place.
Located on New Zealand’s West Coast, Rimu Lodge is a purpose built luxury boutique lodge accommodation situated just a ten minute drive from Hokitika and its award winning cafes, and unique tourism attractions. Architecturally designed, each guest room takes maximum advantage of the wonderful views. Rooms are casually elegant, yet intimate, and tastefully decorated, with central heating, double glazed windows, ensuite bathrooms equipped with heated towel rails, demisting mirrors and hair dryers. All four rooms have refrigerators and their own tea and coffee making facilities.
As the perfect retreat, you will be able to take time out and go at your own pace, surrounded by warmth, beauty and in winter the ambience of a roaring open fire.
We recommend guests stay a minimum of two nights so as to enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities, including rafting, canoeing, river cruises, kayaking, scenic flights, bush, lakeside and beach walks and a choice of fine cafes and restaurants. We are also a short drive to Punakaiki and the pancake rocks to the north and to Franz Josef and Fox glaciers to the south.
