While in its own private space, Riverside is just ten minutes drive from Havelock North - with wineries, restaurants, golf courses and beaches not far in all directions.

Absolutely loved our weekend only wished we could have stayed a day or more longer. Facilities abound Our group booked 3 of the Riverside properties for a joint birthday celebration, we were lucky enough to stay at this property, enjoyed the turkish style pool pavilion, all beautifully set up. Rob and Belinda
Congratulations, what a fantastic entrance, a real surprise, loved everything It seemed you have not missed a thing, to wake up and see The Peak and the Tuki Tuki River every morning was a sensational experience. Trish
Riverside 2 was absolutely a wonderful experience!!! I have stayed in many accommodation facilities, but this one rates the highest. The most comfortable for 3 couples enabling privacy for the 6 of us, and the Hawkes Bay turned the weather on which was a bonus. We would all go back there in a heart beat! The roaring fire each night with a good bottle of HB red wine, was another plus. We would not hesitate in recommending this fantastic property!!!! Lorraine
