Riverton Beach Bliss Retreat
Welcome to our charming coastal hideaway, the Beach Bliss Retreat! This delightful wee crib embodies the spirit of coastal living. It’s where simplicity meets comfort, and where the sound of the sea becomes your lullaby.
It’s just a short walk to the pristine beach at Taramea Bay. Feel the sand between your toes and listen to the rhythmic lull of the waves.
Book your stay at the Beach Bliss Retreat and immerse yourself in the magic of Aparima / Riverton!
The Beach Bliss Retreat features two cozy bedrooms, ensuring a restful night’s sleep for up to five guests, then there`s a fold-out couch to sleep an extra two.
Unwind in not one, but two inviting lounges. Whether you’re curling up with a book or sharing stories with loved ones, there’s a space for every mood. Step into the sunlit conservatory, where you can bask in natural light and keep an eye on the tide.
On cooler evenings, gather around the wood fire and let its comforting glow envelop you.
The Beach Bliss Retreat boasts two decks. Start your day on the sunrise deck, sipping coffee as the sun paints the sky. In the evening, head to the sunset deck to watch the sun dip behind the hills.
