Riverview Holiday Park and Cafe

 

With its location on the Buller River, Riverview Holiday Park provides a great environment for anglers and their families. Accommodation options range from tent sites to motel units.

Trout fishing is right on the door step. In the evening, watch the trout rise from the licensed cafe and have the chef prepare your catch as part of your evening meal.
