What a wonderful and peaceful lodge. We had a lovely room overlooking the valley. We were lucky enough to see a beautiful sunrise. Sue-Ellen is a great host, providing us with information about the local area and restaurants nearby. We loved happy hour at 5pm and the breakfast was delicious and served in the light and airy lounge. Highly recommend.

Fantastic place to stay. Really lovely and comfortable. Sue Ellen, the proprietor, could not have been nicer. The rooms were large as was the bath. Slept like a baby - pillow, sheets, towels, robes all great. Room also had a refrigerator. Loved the view from the large plate glass window. There was a complimentary cocktail hour at 6p which was great. Would highly recommend. ❤️

What a place! Wow is a word I have used a lot in NZ. Sue-Ellen is a fabulous host at her amazing property. Beautiful room with great views and direct access to the decking. Happy hour was a beautiful way to enjoy the views, peace and quiet and meet fellow travellers. Delicious breakfast cooked to order. Sue-Ellen couldn’t have been more helpful in trying to locate our missing passports and give suggestions of things to see on our onward journey. Thank you.

A wonderful haven in a peaceful setting with excellent service. Sue Ellen couldn't have been more helpful & was so attentive & thoughtful when my husband wasn't well. The room was large with beautiful bed linen & gorgeous soft fluffy towels. Lovely terrace to while away a few hours in the sun.

We had an amazing stay at Rimu Lodge on our honeymoon. It's just outside of the main town Hokitika with gorgeous views. Sue Ellen is a brilliant host, so welcoming and offers great tips for the local area! The breakfast is delicious and included in your room rate, rooms are spacious and comfortable.

An outstanding property, gracious host, outstanding vistas, and extraordinary and sumptuous breakfast prepared fresh! Beautifully appointed rooms and a very relaxing atmosphere. It was so nice to be welcomed with a glass of wine upon our arrival. We absolutely loved our stay!

Sue Ellen is the perfect host, warm, welcoming and very smiley! We absolutely adored staying at Rimu. Unfortunately we were only booked in for one night due to onward travels, but would gladly have stayed much longer. The room was spotlessly clean, well designed, light and airy with spectacular views of the mountains and surrounding greenery. Beautiful decked area with lovely, comfortable garden furniture. Everything about Rimu is top quality, toiletries, furnishings, tea, coffee and even chocolates! Breakfast was served in the amazing lounge area, comfortable, homely furniture with carefully selected pictures and fresh flowers from the garden. The food itself was worthy of some gastronomic magazine, presentation exceptional and freshly cooked to order, alongside a continental selection and warm croissants. Attention to detail, Sue Ellen's attentiveness, generosity of spirit and kindness will be a memory forever. Thank you so much!

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.
