Rob's Beach House Riverton

Come and relax in our typical kiwi style Bach. One of the best spots to stay, located in the Riverton Rocks. Mitchell's Bay beach is 400m away from our Bach, The Beach house cafe is just around the corner.

Rob's house is the perfect setting to relax. Watch the tide roll in and out from the sunny reading nook or sit on the large deck and sun bake the afternoon away. The deck is an easy place to entertain, just put on the bbq. Also a large backyard to let the kids play, safely fenced.

This rental is a come stay and leave as you found it. You will need to bring your own towels and linen. Pillows and duvets are supplied. There is a cupboard stocked of cleaning products for your use.

Comfortable and welcoming

We loved this little house. We felt welcome as soon as we walked in.It has a lovely homely feel, with such nice decor, and everything you could need including a stunning view of the sea. The location is great - so near to the beach cafe as well. Our only regret is that we could only stay for one night.

The property was comforting, welcoming and homely. We loved the character of the place and the fact the fire was all set when we got there on a cold evening. Great bedding configuration options. It was so good to be able to take our dog with us and have a fully fenced section with the beach nearby. We would definitely stay again.

Nostalgic Retreat

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely crib. It was in an excellent location and well set up. The decor was a reminder of days gone by but with all the modern conveniences. The owners have gone above and beyond to make it comfortable. The veranda was the icing on the cake as it was beautiful weather when we were there.

Comfortable house with dog-friendly garden in great location.

Great house, quick walk to Mitchells Bay but quieter as off the main road. Very comfortable place with a fantastic, sheltered deck where we spent a lot of time, rain or shine. Sea views. Everything works in the kitchen, the shower pressure is wonderful, good heatpump and cosy seating in the lounge for curlung up with a book (when you tire of the deck). We also really appreciated being able to have our dog there (outside). Completely fenced and secure, with a good sized back garden. We put her crate on the deck and she enjoyed watching the world go by. But...the listing said several single beds and a queen so we bought linen to fit. Turns out there was 1 queen, 1 double and a bunk which was a single on top and a double below. Luckily we had relatives nearby to borrow the appropriate sized linen from. Also, we ended up paying for an extra person who couldnt come. Although we notified the owners before paying they were unable to change it. However we had such a great time, it didn't matter and we felt the house was worth what we paid. We would stay again and recommend it to all, especially those travelling with a dog.
