Riverside Retreat is a luxury beautiful house which is can directly access to the Wairoa River. The massive covered deck is like a sheltered stage on which you can relax and enjoy the amphitheatre like natural environment. the rushing water over the rocks of the river the natural native bush and fern canopies that border both side of the river. Can kayaking in the river.
If the price per night was more than what we paid, I probably wouldn't rate it as high. It's a nice older house that just needs a bit of TLC and a deep clean. Its large and would be great for multiple friends/families. The road noise isnt too bad. Good location - a little off grid with the river running close by. However, there is public access to the river between the house which ruins privacy. Close to McClarens falls/ wild life park which is great for kids.
House and setting great, but house wasnât checked over first 2 dead birds and their s**t everywhere!!!!! No hand towels and no power to bathroom heated towels and fans
Didnât feel like anyone had cared to air the home and the water smelt bad
