The feedback from all candidates was that the rooms and facilities were second to none and they loved the setting. The rooms stylishly decorated, well equipped and had everything you could need. The team at Riverside were very helpful with helping us find suitable... More

Just spent a weekend away at the Riverside for a family get together. Just fantastic, so relaxing among the Olive Tree's and the Grape Vines and we all had a great time. So nice not to have to spend the whole day on the road getting to such an awesome destination. The units are spread out over the property in... More

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.... More

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... More

The accommodation "bach's" have two bedrooms and two... More

We stayed in these lovely 2 bedroom baches in Riverside Matakana recently and loved it. The baches are well appointed, with everything you need , including you own BBQ. Great views from the deck over the Matakana river. Very clean and tidy. And also quite private, with each bach having its own space. Set amidst grapevines in rolling green hills,... More
