RIVERBANK COTTAGE AWAITS YOU.
Riverbank cottage was originally the lean-to off the main homestead. In 2002 we moved it across the garden rebuilt it and lived there happily while the homestead was renovated. The cottage faces northeast overlooking our vineyard towards the Richmond ranges. It is within a stones throw of the Wairau River.

Guests are welcome to a game of tennis on the court right in front of the cottage and to walk over to the river through the property

Stayed Feb 16, 2026We had a beautiful stay at River Cottage. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, and the property has all the amenities you could need — and more. Everything was spotless, and the host was fantastic and very attentive. We would highly recommend staying here!

Stayed Feb 12, 2026The house is in a beautiful setting beside a vineyard. The surrounding countryside includes views of mountains. The garden in front of the house also had a lovely array of flowers in front of the verandah where there was a table and chairs.The beds were clean and comfortable. The amenities - cooking facilities, washing machine, drying rack, etc, were good.Our only comment is that the toilet was at the end of the building and we had to go outside the back door in order to use it. Which is not ideal especially as there are a lot of insects which congregate once you turn the light on.Apart from that a beautiful place.

Stayed Mar 9, 2025The cottage is lovely, especially the exterior with views and flowers surrounding it. The interior is a bit odd with shower in one room, sink in another and the WC is actually accessed from the exterior so you have to go outside to enter it. Otherwise, the cottage is lovely and well equipped. The sunrise views are amazing and it is quiet and calm.
