Vineyard Retreat

We had a very enjoyable four night stay at the vineyard retreat. The communication with the hosts was excellent, very friendly. The property is lovely, the kitchen has all that you require for your stay, the bed is very comfortable and the lounge area is pleasant with a view of the vineyard. We enjoyed the location of the retreat, the local area is delightful, there are so many places to visit. We would stay again at Riwaka Vineyard retreat.

Very comfortable with all the necessary features. Hosts were great on checkin and respectful of our privacy.

Probably not the most luxurious or spacious property on VRBO but definitely one to experience and great value for money!

We loved this place - so private, peaceful and relaxing, and a great place to unwind. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped, and well placed for exploring the Abel Tasman region. The vineyard setting was just lovely, and we particularly enjoyed wandering around the little vegetable and flower garden, or just sitting out there with our coffee in the mornings. We stayed for a week but could happily have stayed longer. Great hosts too, we felt very welcome. Thank you!
