Independent in Tihaka from NZ$70

"Nice, comfortable house, well equipped and close to the beach. Friendly host.we stayed for 5 weeks and enjoyed every moment."

"This 5 star plus property had everything one needed plus extras. Highly recommend this lovly property and intend to return."

"We loved everything about it! Thank you so much!"

"Great weather, at the beach every day. Grandchildren and our wee dog loved the bach and garden."

"It was perfect thank you. Loved how close it is to gemstone Beach. The fact there's a washing machine and everything you need plus more. "

"Dining at the restaurant was a real treat and surperb. Food was fantastic and satisfied both adults and growing teenage boy. Massive meals, highly recommend the sausage platter and share for two. Yet get to try 4 different flavours with the best chips ever. When you see locals coming in and ordering take home meals - you know its good."

"This is a beautiful house with huge windows everywhere and front and back 2nd floor porches. It was very well equipped with appliances and had enough plates, bowls etc for a decent crowd. It's also very close to the beach. Although then-current photos didn't show an oven or stovetop, the house does have them, which made cooking there easy."

"We decided as part of our trip to visit Riverton given we had met on a blind date there in the early eighties. The property was part of a larger house and quite separate from the hosts. It was perfectly setup with large main bedroom separate lounge area and bathroom. Debbie our host could not have been more helpful. Lovely view of the inner harbour. Easy vehicle parking on site and easy access with pin operated entry door. Excellent shower! Had a fantastic stay."

"Lovely property with everything you could possibly need. Amazing views from this property and such a lovely warm and comfortable place to stay . Spotlessly clean and a great host . Will be back"
