Wonderful way to visit Riverton

An excellent property with just the right amount of everything; not overwhelming but plenty comfortable. Host Martha is a true gem; we were lucky enough to have a very pleasant visit with her. She helped us find all the hidden gems nearby (especially the outstanding fish & chips take-away nearby - yum yummmm!). This Bach is clean, comfortable, convenient to everything and an overall great place to stay. We will not stay anywhere else in the region. Thanks for a wonderful stay !!!!

Perfect for a short stay

Excellent, everything was as described. Our family stayed for four nights. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen contained all of what we needed a huge amount of coffee if you are a coffee drinker :). A little more space for food (and clothes) would have been good for self - caterers like us.The communication with the host was lightning fast and Heather is very friendly and helpful.We were very lucky with the weather which made strolling along the beautiful beaches a delight. In case of rain it might be advisable to drive to Invercargill.Heidrun, Robert and daughter Maia
