A lovely cottage with furnishings reflecting the beach theme throughout. Very clean and tidy and well equipped. We appreciated the little extras eg the choc treats! It was an oasis of calm and we enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the charming town centre with its excellent cafes and museum. Can’t wait to return!

Amazing Retreat to Relax and Explore the Area

We spent three nights at this lovely retreat. The place was very clean, and we felt right at home the moment we walked through the door. The weather was rainy and windy yet we were cozy and enjoyed the view. Great location and we really enjoyed exploring the area. It had everything we needed. The host responded instantly to our one inquiry, we couldn’t be happier with our stay.

What a cosy and gorgeous place! Barbara was an excellent host and communicated very well. I’d say the photos on the site don’t do it justice! It’s even better in the flesh. Such a lovely home away from home. We will be back!

Fantastic stay!

A fantastic spot to spend a few days in. Arrived cold and damp on motorbikes for the Burt Munro week. Faced with little option for dinner as it was raining. Rang Aparima restaurant and they came and picked us up and dropped us off after dinner! The house had everything we needed. It was a pleasure to stay here.

Winter break in Riverton

awesome little spot for our weekend winter break away in Riverton. Barbaras property is in an awesome location, 5 min walk down to the beach for a morning stroll and right next to the estuary outlet for a wee fish (although no luck this time!), house was super warm, very clean and all the facilities required for a comfortable stay. thanks barbara

Great little batch!

We really enjoyed our stay at Barbara's beach house. Very clean and well equiped (kids toys, bodyboards, books, kitchen ware, blankets). The heater kept us very cosy & warm for the cold weather. The only unfortunate part was the double mattress which could be upgraded. Merci Barbara!

Cozy Cottage by the sea

This place was everything it had been advertised as and more. It was a beautiful, cozy, clean, warm, comfortable, inviting and welcoming place to stay and the moment I stepped through the door I had no option but to relax The cottage had everything we needed and even supplied what I wanted . .. . . A view of the sea. Not only from the lounge but also the dining room and the kitchen sink and basically every room I entered We absolutely loved our stay here and Barbara was amazing to deal with. She was very prompt with replies gave very clear instructions and nothing was a problem. I absolutely loved the homely touches through out the Cottage and I very quickly fell in love with several of the crochet blanket over the backs of the sofa's and arm chairs. The love they had been made with came shining through loud and clear and gave the place a lovely homely feel The bed in the main room was very comfortable to sleep in, the shower was amazing and there was fantastic water pressure throughout the house. The kitchen was great to work in and the balcony was fantastic to just sit on while knitting and watching the world go by as the waves crashing on the shore below you The neighbours were friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome in their lovely wee community I would give this place a 10 / 10
