Wedding accomodation
This stay was booked to be close to my son’s wedding venue. We were three adults and we really enjoyed our stay. It was very clean, spacious, and private. It was so peaceful, located away from the main centre. I gave 4 stars for accuracy of listing since there was nomention of a dog on the property in the listing.

Peaceful and spacious
Exactly as advertised! Beautiful property & really peaceful. Only 10 mins from Thames if you need a shop or a restaurant, but it feels so secluded.Great communication from host. And ALL the beds we used were VERY comfy, including the bunks, which were big enough for adults. Also appreciated having more than enough towels, which is sometimes not the case at a holiday home.The only thing to note is to take your own everything if you want to cook. No oil, spices, etc, or plastic wrap, paper towel, tin foil, which was a little annoying. Great stay. Nice home. Worth the rate.bunks which were

The best getaway
We loved our stay at RiverSong Retreat. Amazing views, lots of different seating areas. The house has everything you need. Was also a great place to stay to do the Pinnacles Walk. Would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone needing to stay close to the Pinnacles or Thames.

Amazing spot for the Pinnicals hike
We loved our stay at Riversong Retreat. The house and grounds are stunning and it was the perfect spot to stay for a hike up to the Pinnicals. The hosts were extremely accommodating when we had to adjust our hike due to the weather and offered a later check out. The spa pool was a welcome luxury after a long walk! Highly reccommend.

Beautiful spot and very comfy holiday home
Stayed at Riversong for 2 nights to climb the Pinnacles. All the beds and sofa are super comfy, kitchen is well equipped, just remember to bring your olive oil and spices etc if you intend on cooking. The spa pool was a life saver after a long walk. The river swimming spot just down from the house is gorgeous, with a platform for jumping in if you're brave enough. Such a short drive from Auckland. Will definitely be back soon. Thanks!
