RIVERSTONE COTTAGE is the ultimate holiday event for the whole family or just for you both as a couple. No need to drive anywhere else. Just enjoy what RIVERSTONE has to offer.

Love kayaking?
Pick your colour, take it down to the river and start the adventure in this stunning environment. The turquoise and green gurgling Hawea River takes you through bush and breathtaking mountain scenery as the mystical river adventure begins.

Biking from the door step?
Quiet peaceful road cycling through stunning countryside or mountain biking at its best. Hills, rivers and mountains want to be conquered.

Adore animals?
Horses want to be patted, fed and walked around. The dogs, George and Snoopy, are always keen for a walk and the hens are the proud providers of fresh breakfast eggs. Please save some big cuddles for the lambs, too ...

Fishing. Peace. Nature. Good catch.
Dinner. BBQ. Clapping hands.
Photos. Fun.
Unforgetable memories around the kitchen table for the next 40 years. We provide the spinning rods, you catch the fish.

Need to cool down?
Jump into the river and swim your mile. And if you get tired let the river do the work for you and float the rest. If you like more excitment take the inner tubes and feel the adrenaline through your body.

Like it dryer?
Take your time and enjoy many different walks along the river or through the countryside. Soak in the beautiful Central Otago colours and listen to native birds along the way.

The kids are too energetic?
Send them out to the huge trampoline in the garden and they can jump for hours. Children love to stroll through the huge property of RIVERSTONE and to find little treasures. George and Snoopy will look after them well. Promise!

Courtyard or lawns?
It's now your turn to play croquet, petanque or horseshoes in the lush gardens of RIVERSTONE. Grab a glass of wine and get a team together.

After a day full of adventures, sun and laughter, grab your goodies and make a final 20m trip to the BBQ in the manuka close to the river. Let the children jump on the trampoline beside you and share a really special time with food, wine and the best stories of the day in the last of the afternoon sun.
