Our travel agent booked us in here for a night during a touring holiday. It was fantastic, gorgeous spot and a brilliant unit in great condition. We had spent a week in hotels and to able to spread out, cook, wash clothes and the like was great. First class stay and we will definitely go back if we are in the area in the future.

we booked this baches via internet.ariving in auckland we drove to matakan ,only 80 km,since we liked to startnour nz trip with some days relaxing and overcoming the jet lag.
riverside was a very good desission .super quiet location,modern design and with everything one needs.we stayed 5 nights and made excursions to the north as well as to auckland.matakana itself is a beautifull little town with good restaurants,cinema a very nice market on the weekend.we have been very happy at riverside and it has been a perfekt start of our trip through nz

Riverside is quite unique ; the bach style was a little offputting at first until we settled in.I was a little concerned at the lack of a conventional oven (there is a microwave and hob) until I noticed the steel barbecue and broiler. It's much more fun than being in the kitchen and cooked everything from steaks to grilled vegetables. The sleepout idea is fun , but more suitable for younger children. Our two teenagers stayed in the main accomodation with us and pronounced it comfortable.

The bach itself is beautifully appointed; good sized bathrooms and comfy beds.The place was perfectly clean and well serviced.The manager was delightful and very helpful.A broken dvd player was replaced within minutes.

The Riverside grounds are probably it's strongest point. It's delightful to sit outside on the deck, surrounded by tui and kereru, drinking the local wines.It may have been the wine or the complete and utter tranquillity and quiet of the place, but I've never slept better.I am really looking forward to staying there again.

We spend 4 days enjoying the facilities and area, and found the accomodation hard to fault. The accommodation was modern and practical for a family of 5. The facilities were brilliant and created some endless memories of tennis, swimming & fishing ( kids caught 5 fish) off the private jetty. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and maintain a picture perfect environment. Highly recommend, and already planning our return !
