Rimu Lodge – West Coast Luxury – Naturally

The only Qualmark 5-star luxury boutique lodge on the West Coast, Rimu Lodge is a secluded retreat surrounded by pristine forest and majestic mountain ranges. Designed to embrace the breathtaking views, the lodge features soaring floor-to-ceiling windows and a spacious deck where you can unwind to the soothing sound of birdsong.

Each of four casually elegant ensuite rooms offers the perfect blend of comfort and style, with central heating, double-glazed windows, refrigerators, and tea and coffee facilities. Thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and complimentary Wi-Fi make your stay even more special. Wake up to a beautiful continental and à la carte cooked breakfast, carefully prepared to set you up for the day’s adventures.

Hokitika township, just a 10-minute drive away, is alive with creativity—artisans crafting Pounamu (greenstone), glass, gold, and more. You can even try your luck panning for gold!

Explore the West Coast’s Wild Beauty

• Hokitika Gorge Walk – A must-do, just a short drive away. The stunning turquoise waters framed by lush native bush create an unforgettable sight. An easy 45-minute walk makes it accessible for everyone.
• Glacier adventures – Take a heli-flight over the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers and land on a snow-capped peak for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
• World-class fishing – Cast your line for salmon, perch, and rainbow or brown trout in the region’s pristine rivers and lakes.

At the end of the day, return to the tranquil, adults-only comfort of Rimu Lodge. Enjoy a glass of wine with your host and fellow guests, sharing stories of the day’s discoveries.

For a taste of Kiwi history, dine at the iconic Woodstock Pub, where the charm of New Zealand’s pioneering days still lingers.

Stay at least two nights—one is never enough to truly experience this extraordinary region.
