"The property was a huge disappointment. No staff around once checked in. Poor parking for cars. No food facilities on site. The room was spacious with an excellent bathroom. No kitchen facilities at all. A serious amount of work needs to go in to make this complex suitable for guests"

10/10 Excellent
"Great base to explore the beautiful Riverton (and wider Southland area). The house was clean and everything as it should have been. We were a party of 5, and it would have been cosy if we had of got stuck inside too long by bad weather."
