La Riviera Guesthouse — Hotel in Oraka Aparima Community

Travelling around Southland we initially planned to stay in Invercargill but couldn’t fine accommodation so decided to stay in Riverton.

Car park to the rear, enter through the small but pleasant garden. A warm welcome awaits! The hotel prides itself on its individual decor and art. It doesn’t disappoint. It’s are presented with good taste and really you just keep finding little touches that make you smile. It’s not over done too. |Our room had a very comfortable bed with good quality bedding. Our window looked out over the road but it want noisy.|A highlight was the breakfast including fresh eggs fro the resided chickens - I should have remembered their names.

Our room was perfect, comfy bed, very tasteful decor and spotlessly clean. Next Rose took us to the kitchen and lounge. Wow! Home grown eggs, home stewed fruit etc for breakfast all to be enjoyed while enjoying the beautiful view of the Riverton estuary. Two nights here was fantastic....

The best accommodation we had during our trip to Riverton in December 2018. The owner and manager Rose is an wonderful person which is definitely adds up to equally excellent accommodation. There are plenty of rooms, and separate shower and toilets. While Booking, make sure to check it the master bedroom with attached toilet is available. Free breakfast, an awesome view, and a departmental store just opposite to the house. You can even do BBQ. The place is wheelchair accessible. Unlimited fast broadband (WiFi) and plenty of parking at the backyard. It will be my ONLY choice for any further visit...
