Escape to a secluded slice of riverside paradise in central Hawkes Bay, NZ
If you are looking for a country get away, our river-facing cottage is just what you may be looking for. With a private patio overlooking views of the river, casually chic, Riverstones is a self-catering holiday cottage oozing charm and personality with a comfy Queen Bed and private ensuite + the second bedroom has Twin single beds (King Bed on request) and private ensuite as well.
Be up at dawn for the early morning birdsong or sleep in, then sip your coffee to the sound of native birds and later explore the riverside. At night, stargaze from the patio and absorb the incredible nightsky and listen out for Morepork.
In the summer months enjoy a swim in the river. In the winter months be warm and cozy after exploring or fishing.
Flyfishing right on your doorstep and private access to the Tukituki River, this cottage is the perfect getaway.
Designed with relaxation, rejuvenation and romance in mind, our cottage has all the conveniences of home. A true Kiwi country tavern 8 mins down the road or pop into our nearest rural town, Waipawa for a great morning breakfast or lunch only 10 mins away.
