Great one night stopover

We were in transit, relocating from one end of the South Island to the other and needed a one night stopover. We were travelling with a small puppy and were having difficulty finding somewhere dog friendly. Riverview was a great option, very comfortable and we appreciate the host allowing us to have a dog stay too. Shame we were passing through and only had 1 night
