Escape to our Riverstones Retreat & RELAX!
Riverstones is nestled into a secluded slice of paradise with stunning private Tukituki river access and more. A purpose built, luxury energy healing holiday cottage tucked away in the scenic rural Central Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. You'll find everything you need right here on your doorstep for the perfect relaxing and rejuvenating break away.
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 with 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.
