Riwaka valley is very peaceful! My kids loved walking around the farm and checking out the animals, they especially loved the minature horses! With the river close by it was really nice to hear the sounds of the flowing water while we sat up on the deck. Just a 5 minute drive to the source of the riwaka which is a beautiful place to view, I highly recommend going to see it if you stay here. 15 minute drive from Motueka and Kaiteriteri beach. Good location!
