Wonderful way to visit Riverton

An excellent property with just the right amount of everything; not overwhelming but plenty comfortable. Host Martha is a true gem; we were lucky enough to have a very pleasant visit with her. She helped us find all the hidden gems nearby (especially the outstanding fish & chips take-away nearby - yum yummmm!). This Bach is clean, comfortable, convenient to everything and an overall great place to stay. We will not stay anywhere else in the region. Thanks for a wonderful stay !!!!
