We had a great stay at River Cottage. Sue was very welcoming and friendly on arrival and also provided lots of helpful information for visiting the region. The cottage is to the side of their home with its own pathway and entrance surrounded by their tranquil garden. There is also a gate in the garden which leads to the walking/biking trail along the river which was handy. The cottage interior was very tidy, spacious and comfortable with more than enough room for two. All essentials were provided that we needed for our stay and the private patio with barbecue and outdoor fireplace was a great area to relax in. The cottage is close to the main street of Clive with shops and restaurants. Clive is an ideal location spot to visiting the Hawke's Bay. It is a nice and quiet town to relax in, but still very close to Napier, Hastings and for sight seeing around the Hawke's Bay. We would love to stay again at River Cottage. Thanks again Sue and Mark!
