Great communication from our host, house clean and very well presented and equipped, warm and welcoming, comfortable beds. Great location for beaches and exploring Riverton, and the Invercargill and Bluff areas. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.
This was an incredible stay, with a fully stocked kitchen and house. Easy to check in, beautifully clean, and had everything in the kitchen to support a surf trip and BBQ for us. They had games, pogo stick, BBQ, DVDs and more so there was not a single thing we could possibly need. Loved that we could have the dogs there, and the photos are accurate to the real property. Close to the beach, and a great outdoor area to hang out in. Would stay here time and time again when we come back to Riverton!
We so enjoyed our stay here. An excellent location and very comfortable and clean with everything you need and more. Thank you for a lovely stay! We definitely recommend.
