Review

Not great. Terribly uncomfortable couch. No oven. Towel rail in bathroom literally taped together. Only had enough seating for three people but claimed to be set up for five people which made life very difficult when trying to feed three children at a dining table and no seat for myself! No space anywhere to put groceries or bags etc. To top it all off a couple hours before we had even checked out they were in the house doing laundry and trying to clean up etc. Just assumed we had left and didn’t bother to check.

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
