Exceptional

Liked: Sue-Ellen is an excellent and knowledgable host. Rimu Lodge is in a unique setting providing respite from travel demands and time to rest and rejuvenate.

We had a great visit...

Liked: The property had amazing views and Sue Ellen was really helpful with making recommendations and offering suggestions. You can tell she really cares about her guests. The views were amazing!! The breakfast was unbelievable! We were shocked by the offerings and how delicious everything was. We were invited to but did not attend the happy hour, but I am sure it would have been fun. It was a real treat to stay here!
Disliked: The only thing that was a little difficult was the parking - it was quite tight. Also, the walls were a little thin. We didn't have issues with it, but did notice it.

Felt like home

Liked: Sue Ellen was a fantastic host and made us feel right at home during our stay. Her extensive knowledge of the West Coast helped us make the most of our driving holiday.Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and set us up for a day of exploring. We only stayed for one night but wished we had stayed an extra night or two. Will be back.

We’ll recommend place to stay...

Liked: Felt welcome as soon as we arrived the host went beyond expectations. Treated to complimentary drinks , and as this journey was our retirement present to ourselves , we were surprised with chocolates and a lovely card.

Exquisite in every way

Liked: We stayed 3 blissful nights at Rimu Lodge, welcomed on our arrival just a few minutes before 8pm by Sue Ellen, who immediately phoned the local pub to ask them to keep the kitchen open so we could rush down for a pizza ( excellent & home made). When we went to Hokatika Gorge & a nearby lake, Sue Ellen thoughtfully produced a picnic rug & beach towels for us. Sue Ellen has made the Lodge exquisite with furnishings and artworks, the bed was super comfortable, the ensuite facilities are beautifully designed with wonderful soaps and shampoos. The evening drinks on the terrace every day to meet other guests was a lovely touch. The views from every room are magical. Breakfast included fresh fruits from the garden. Everything is perfect- try it - you will love it.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike, it’s wonderful.
