Ken and Jenny were outstanding hosts, nothing was a problem. The garden is lovely and we loved coming back in the afternoon, sitting outside overlooking the lovely garden and enjoying the bird song with a glass of wine.
There was fresh milk in the fridge with various drink options so if you didnt want wine you were covered.
This is a lovely B & B run by a warm and friendly couple. Their home and grounds sit on five acres of stunning gardens.
The room is upstairs in their home with an airy full bathroom. There's a bar fridge stocked with water and milk (for coffee). Coffee, teas, and hot drinks are in the room as well as an iron and board should you need them.
We didn't use the TV and the WiFi was very good.
Our hosts offered a lovely breakfast with fresh fruit, hot drinks, cereals, toast, and homemade jams. Since we're vegan, we don't know the other breakfast options that are available.
This place was a lovely discovery on the drive to Christchurch from the West Coast. Thanks, Jennie and Ken!
We had a great stay at The Riverstone House. Ken and Jenny are excellent friendly hosts. The room was wonderful and the grounds and gardens are beautifully maintained. Breakfast was cooked to order. Great value!
An extremely friendly welcome and very comfortable room, this was our first night in New Zealand and got our holiday off to an excellent start. The location is blissfully quiet and only a short drive to good restaurants in Geraldine. No hesitation in highly recommending.
spotlessly clean. very friendly hosts who went out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable and memorable. beautiful, peaceful gardens. superb experience
Friendly welcoming hosts with lots of local knowledge. Great cooked breakfast each morning. Beautiful room, lovely gardens and abundant bird life makes this a great location. We would definitely stay again.
Beautiful gardens and well appointed B&B. Ken and Jenny were delightful and very accommodating. The room was super clean and updated. Breakfast was delicious. Perfect location to do day trips to Mount Cook, Raika Gorge, and Hakatere. Excellent hiking opportunities nearby.
We had a lovely stay with Jenny and Ken. The room was comfortable and wepl appointed. We loved how it looked onto their beautiful gardens. We’d definitely recommend staying at Riverstone House.
Met by two adorable British Blue shorthair cats who made us feel very welcome. The hosts were efficient and the room was clean. Extremely comfortable bed which meant we fell asleep within minutes of our heads touching the pillow. TV very easy to use. Lovely breakfast.
Extremely pleased with Everything and Everybody with our stay at the BB. Seriously great stay, great bed, great shower, great facilities ,great people and a great breakfast oh yes also a very peaceful spit with some great views.
