To whom it may concern:
BOOK THIS PLACE! Do it!!!! 🤗
Riverside Retreat is such a beautiful, cosy home, with incredible views. It’s a lovely, second-storey mouse’s house with beautiful sloped ceilings. I spent many hours sitting by my favourite window staring at the magnificent Remarkables and watching people pass by on the bike path. I loved that it was at the very end of the road. It was a wonderful base for walking and riding, and also for enjoying being still :-)
The bike path is just beautiful in itself, and you can walk or ride along it to easily get to the lake, or to cross the river to catch a water taxi into Queenstown.
Jenna and G provided so many lovely touches that I consider “extra”. Apart from the house being gorgeous and immaculate, there was a significant stock of food in the little “kitchen”, plenty of toilet paper provided, great little nooks for storing luggage and hanging a few clothes, the use of the bikes, and an umbrella by the door. Jenna was also very kind to offer me bags for grocery shopping (which was also in easy walking distance) and provided a lift to the airport.
As I said, do not hesitate. It was a fantastic place to stay!
