Absolutely awesome.

Wife and I stayed for our 1 year wedding anniversary, and what a great place to tune out from everyday life. We played some board games, cooked BBQ during sunset on a balmy evening and couldn't believe our eyes at the view of the ocean, Would highly recommend, what a great spot, we now want a section up there! =)

Missing basics

The property was OK, but no shelter for the weather you can expect on top of a hill. The add should have mentioned.... Bring your own barbeque, TV, microwave and washing machine. The scullery taps not connected is a bit mean. If I had a few people or children there I would be a bit more direct. Hope they sort something out if they want to continue.

Nice bach stay

Very much your kiwi-style bach with most basic necessities available. Unfortunately it wasn’t as clean as we would have liked so needed to clean on arrival, in addition to when we left. Missing a few items that would enhance the stay such as bin liners, paper towels, body wash in the showers. The light grey chairs in the living area were so stained with dirt/grime that we didn’t want to sit on them, but made do with the vinyl chairs that were there. Would prefer to pay a cleaning fee to know that it has been thoroughly cleaned and to save time on check out. Otherwise it was a lovely location with a great outlook and easy to follow check in/check out instructions.

A breath of fresh air away from Hawkes Bay cyclone chaos

After a third attempt at a trip to the Abel Tasman we had to postpone again, and with Cyclone Gabriel taking it out of us with huge hours helping Civil Defence it was time for a little break as we were lucky enough to get away from it all breifly. All roads were washed away North and West of Hawkes Bay, so south it was and we were very lucky to find this holiday home in Riversdale. Perfectly positioned with great views of the ocean and farmland that we are so used to. This modern property was so homely as soon as we pulled up and entered. A very easy stay with all the bits and bobs and a dog allowance which just makes life so easy. The kids loved biking down the hill to the village, scootering, playing cricket on the culdesac and the numerous boardgames provided and books from the swapper library by the golf course. The beach was angry, but the days beautiful and walks along the beach and a paddle were great to clear the head. Thank you very much for allowing our little refresher! Now back to the action!!

Riversdale Peace and Quiet

Our family of five had a wonderful stay in this clean, modern, and well equipped house. It is warm, very quiet, and close enough for walk to the shop and beach. The view out the back makes you think you are on a farm. Thank you for our stay. Very much appreciated.
