Located in Ruatapu, Rimu Lodge is in a rural area and near the airport. Hokitika Lighthouse and Ross Goldfields Information & Heritage Centre are local landmarks, and some of the area's attractions include Lake Kaniere Scenic Reserve and William Steyn Stonepainter. The Gold Room and Westland Greenstone Ltd are also worth visiting. Kayaking offers a great chance to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and mountain biking nearby.
Absolutely beautiful property. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided plus more. Evening dinner drinks in the lounge room allows you to chat to fellow guests and a wonderful breakfast with various menu options cooked to order. Highly recommend this property.
The west coast of NZ is extremely rural and poor. Typically that means marginal lodging. Marginal amenities. Cheap motels. We were so pleasantly surprised to find the Rumi lodge the exact opposite. Wonderful accommodations and food. What a wonderful breakfast. Literally five star. Cecelia, the host, was wonderful . Warm and inviting and so full of helpful info. Two thumbs way up for Rumi lodge.
This property was top shelf luxury and the innkeeper was so gracious. When we arrived she greeted us at the door, showed us around our room, started a fire in the fireplace. She gave us tourist sites like the glowworm dell 5 minutes.from the lodge, and printed us info on hikes for the next day. Breakfast was also delicious.
The service is great
The owner is very nice and quite helpful
Except the sound insulation effect of the room not that good, all the others is over our expection. Highly recommend to all
Beautiful lodge in lovely rural surroundings. Large spacious room and bathroom and great attention detail - lovely log fire, cosy lounge that made the stay extra special. Great breakfasts - Sue Ellen was a very attentive and helpful host - pointing out places to see, where to eat etc. Definitely recommend
