Perfect for a short stay
Excellent, everything was as described. Our family stayed for four nights. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen contained all of what we needed a huge amount of coffee if you are a coffee drinker :). A little more space for food (and clothes) would have been good for self - caterers like us.The communication with the host was lightning fast and Heather is very friendly and helpful.We were very lucky with the weather which made strolling along the beautiful beaches a delight. In case of rain it might be advisable to drive to Invercargill.Heidrun, Robert and daughter Maia

A wonderful stay in Riverton!
We spent three weeks at Heather’s place in Riverton and we could not have asked for anything better! The property was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed to make it a wonderful stay. In particular the kitchen was very well equipped. Heather was efficient and friendly in all our communication, even agreeing to modify the booking at short notice due to a change of travel plans. The check in process was very straightforward and it was a pleasure to meet Heather when she came to introduce herself on our first morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and did not want to leave. Would highly recommend!

What a cosy getaway!
This cosy little bach was very clean and tidy, and absolutely ideal for anyone traveling with their fury companion. The property is entirely fenced off and has a small yard separate from the driveway for your dog to explore. My dog and I had a great time. Thank you very much for the lovely stay!
