Throughly enjoyed our stay at Riverside Retreat. The house was clean, the backyard spacious and the location was fantastic. We also made good use of the kayaks and the spa which was a welcome after a long day. I especially appreciated Ken's prompt responses.
Just a few thoughts - could not find a pot to cook in so had to improvise with the saucepans available. Could not find the iron either which was supposedly in the cupboard next to the fridge. The beds are not the most comfortable and I would not recommend swimming in the river right at the property front but would highly recommend the 10 minute walk to Charlie's Rock swimming hole. I thought this was the best of Kerikeri, even a better swim than Rainbow Falls and surrounding water holes.
Other than that, we had a fantastic stay. Thank you Ken for the experience at Riverside Retreat. Have a wonderful new year.
