About this property

Secluded Riverside Cottage set in native garden.

Escape to our beautifully presented cottage, tucked away in a peaceful native garden that you'll share with the main house. You'll have your own private outdoor area to unwind in, complete with a BBQ and chimenea to create the perfect atmosphere for a glass of wine at the end of the day.

Along with the recently renovated bathroom and kitchen area, our well-appointed cottage is fully air-conditioned, ensuring your comfort year-round. With space to accommodate up to 4 guests (though it's best suited to 2 adults), the cottage features a cozy lounge area and all the necessities you'll need to feel right at home.

Take advantage of our close proximity to the cycle trails that lead to stunning scenery and local wineries – we even have 3 bikes available for hire at just $30 per day, per bike. You're also just a short walk away from the Clive river and beach, where you can take in the breathtaking natural beauty of the area.

Stroll down to the local pub, cafe or restaurant if you don't feel like cooking, and enjoy the atmosphere of our local village.

We provide all the essentials, including linen, tea, coffee, milk, oil, salt, and pepper, and our cleaning service is included in the cost of your stay.

Please note that our cottage is not suitable for children, but we welcome adults looking for a peaceful retreat. If you have any special requests or needs during your stay, just let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

We look forward to sharing our piece of paradise with you!

Great place to stay
The location is great, between Hastings and Napier, right near the beach. The garden and interior are excellent and reflect the effort put into it. I will absolutely stay here again if the possibility arises.

Lovely place to stay in Hawkes Bay
River Cottage is a delightful base to stay while in Hawkes Bay. The cottage is comfortable and was supremely clean when we arrived. Sue welcomed us warmly and made us feel at home. The proximity to the river is a real bonus for early evening strolls. Clive has good facilities. We can recommend the hotel and the Thai restaurant. Easy to get to Napier and other areas.

Great stay
We stayed at the Riverside Cottage for 4 nights - Sue and her husband were lovely hosts. They were very welcoming and then left us be for the majority of our stay - perfect host behaviour. The cabin is adjacent to their garden but we never felt overlooked and found the accommodation very private. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked with the basics for cooking, and the shower great. The property was also right in Clive so we could access coffee and a foursquare with a very short walk. Overall we had a great stay.

Lovely garden cottage
Convenient location to vineyards, clean and well-kept property and cottage. Loved the towel warmer and exquisitely comfortable beds. Lovely walking path straight from cottage to nearby bay. Stunning. Very welcoming and easy to communicate with. The owners left a personalized welcome sign which was very much appreciated.

About the host

Hosted by Sue

Host profile image
Mark and I have grown up in Hawkes Bay and have made our house in Clive our home for 30 years. The cottage was built for our 2 sons whom have now left home. We enjoy meeting people and helping them have fun so we decided to have guests to stay.

Why they chose this property

We love the rural feel of Clive, and it's close proximity to town if you need to pop in for something. The native garden is our sanctuary and we enjoy all the bird life it brings.

What makes this property unique

Situated between Napier and Hastings this property is in the heart of Bay. Local wineries and cycle tracks make this place unique. Scenic rural feel, and only 10 mins from a city.
