Planning your visit
You will probably want to stay longer in our historic town of Riverton Aparima to fully appreciate the beauty and relaxed vibe of the "riviera of the south".
Our township has a small supermarket/post shop, butchers, fish supplies, hardware store, stationary shop, organic store/environment centre, op shop, and numerous craft stores. We also have a few pubs/restaurants and cafes. There is one ATM (ANZ), pharmacy, medical centre, and public library with free WIFI. There are two petrol stations/service centres. We also have a swimming pool (limited hours summer only), and rowing club with gym.

In addition to our museum, other things to do in the area include numerous walks in Mores Reserve or the nearby Longwoods (Long Hilly track is part of Te Araroa walkway), or walks along the coast - of particular interest to those intrigued by our geology.
There are a couple of local surf spots, opportunities to hire boards or even take a surfing lesson. For coastal stop information, we recommend the Southern Scenic Route brochure. Our landscape provides wonderful opportunities for wildlife and landscape photography, and our estuary even gets the occasional visit from dolphins. While we don't have hotels or motels, there are motel type units or apartments, and B&B's. There are also low budget backpackers, and a campground. |
