We stayed here during our honeymoon in March 2006.

We found this place at the last minute as we were tired and looking for somewhere to stay. It was situated a couple of minutes drive off the main road through Riverton and was very cheap at NZ$98 for a two bedroom flat with lounge/kitchen/diner, shower, washing machine and toilet. Although the decor was old-fashioned, the flat was spotless. We also had a great view of the beach from the lounge and balcony.

The local fish and chip shop did the most gorgeous blue cod and chips - a million miles nicer than anything you would get in the UK.

Riverton was an excellent place to stop off on our way from Te Anau to the Catlins coast.
