We normally don't "do" B&B's, but we liked Riverton so much and wanted to spent a night there, so we opted for a B&B, since there is not much choice in Motels or Hotels. Well, are we glad we choose 4 R's B&B, that stands for Relaxing River Reflections @ Riverton!, the room was outstanding with super king size bed,... More

How great it is that you are enjoying your stays at "our" place, having you come so regularly is so comforting. We are so happy to have you, and to have met most of the team now, makes it so much more interesting. It's great that we all agree on rugby results, and even better when we win. It was... More

Our 2 nights with Gay and Arch were perfect. It was our first time in a B&B so weren't sure what to expect. From the moment we arrived we were treated like family and spoiled rotten. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome. We stayed in the sea view room with a nice lounge... More

Relaxing, Reflecting, River views @ Riverton. A darling little township, resting on the Jacobs River Estuary has a few surprises in store for a stopover. The Bed & Breakfast we chose was the 4 R's, situated up off the main road, so we had wonderful views of the harbour and the night lights from the balcony where we sat and... More

How wonderful those three days were, they just flew by so quickly, and wow, did you two take every advantage you could of our little village and it's surrounds.

Recently I was planning a trip to Riverton and as soon as I saw Gay & Arch had a B&B there, I knew there was no where else to stay. I had stayed at a place they had in the Catlins years ago and loved it. When I rang Gay, she booked a table for us for lunch at Mrs... More

We stayed with Gay and Arch for two nights and can't say enough about the quality of the experience. Gay is an outstanding hostess. She is helpful and informed, and there is no detail too small to receive attention. Our room was spacious and beautifully appointed. The view from our bedroom and sitting area was magnificent. And the breakfasts! Anything... More

We stayed here on the recommendation of the owners of Arrowtown Lodge. Like everything else they recommended, they were spot on. The owners were lovely and the room was top notch.
