The bath was amazing! Big enough for two. The pressure of the shower was awesome. Was very warm with the heat pump just ticking over. Quite close to the beach, on which you can walk for miles, seeing only the occasional dog walker. Was clean and...

Second time staying here and was relaxing as always. Rained most of the time but it was warm and dry. Short drive to motorcycle museum in Invercargill, and a short walk into town.

Our cute wee self contained hut is peacefully tucked away amongst farmland and is just a 15min walk to the beach. Clean & tidy self contained Hut on a large 1/4 acre section with native planted gardens. Studio Layout..Queen bed, lounge, kitchenette. The hut size is 8m x 3m Shower & toilet are accessed via the outside deck. The deck is a great space for sunbathing, meditation, yoga & outdoor dinning. Outdoor Bath - relax & unwind in the outdoor bath under the stars = bliss. (The bath has running hot water). Kitchen basics. Mini oven, fridge, hot plates, kettle & toaster. Bedding and towels are provided. A selection of herbal teas and quality fresh plunger coffee are included as well as milk and a variety of spreads. Whilst our cosy wee hut only has a queen size bed, we are happy for you to use your own small tent outside on the lawn if you are travelling with children. Also there is room next to the bed for a port-a-cot if you are travelling with a little one (we do have one onsite however you will need to bring your own bedding). We have a newly installed heat pump so the Hut is super cosy and a new gas califont system means the shower has amazing pressure!
We are excited to be sharing our rustic wee hut with you and sharing a stunning part of New Zealand with you! We all have a huge passion for travelling (most recently was in the Phillipines on motorbike), but our favourite place to be is either camping in the Catlins, or having a beer in the sun at our hut in beautiful Riverton.
Situated on the south coast of Southland, Riverton (also known as Aparima) is an eclectic and quirky town surrounded by stunning natural beauty and home to lovely locally owned cafes. Riverton spans Jacob's River Estuary; and is a picturesque location framed by the vast, sweeping coastline. Riverton's surrounding beaches and estuary are popular with swimmers, kayakers, surfers and families. Dolphins often travel up into the estaury for feeding and can be seen from the beaches. Nearby Colac Bay (and other secret locations) are top spots for surfing. The Long Hilly Track starts just after this bay, exploring regenerating native bush and relics from the days of early Chinese goldmining in Southland. Riverton is also on the Southern Scenic Route and is an ideal stopover between Queenstown and Dunedin. Riverton is located 30km from Invercargill.
