We stayed overnight at Riverstone House in Geraldine Downs. Lovely friendly hosts and a very comfortable upstairs bedroom. Car ride to restaurants in the village. Our host made a delicious big breakfast the next morning. Lol....unfortunately we were not allowed to take Misty with us. Was perfect for our requirements.

An extremely friendly welcome and very comfortable room, this was our first night in New Zealand and got our holiday off to an excellent start. The location is blissfully quiet and only a short drive to good restaurants in Geraldine. No hesitation in highly recommending.

Ken and Jenny were outstanding hosts, nothing was a problem. The garden is lovely and we loved coming back in the afternoon, sitting outside overlooking the lovely garden and enjoying the bird song with a glass of wine. There was fresh milk in the fridge with various drink options so if you didnt want wine you were covered.

Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und fürsorglich, das Frühstück war mit Liebe gemacht, leider liegt die Unterkunft weit ausserhalb. Die Gastgeber sollten aber deutlicher erwähnen, dass es Katzen in der Unterkunft gibt. Für Allergiker ist das nichts.

This is a lovely B & B run by a warm and friendly couple. Their home and grounds sit on five acres of stunning gardens. The room is upstairs in their home with an airy full bathroom. There's a bar fridge stocked with water and milk (for coffee). Coffee, teas, and hot drinks are in the room as well as an iron and board should you need them. We didn't use the TV and the WiFi was very good. Our hosts offered a lovely breakfast with fresh fruit, hot drinks, cereals, toast, and homemade jams. Since we're vegan, we don't know the other breakfast options that are available. This place was a lovely discovery on the drive to Christchurch from the West Coast. Thanks, Jennie and Ken!
