- Laura and Dirk (10/5): Riverside is a 10 out of 10 - We stayed at Riverside Matakana for one week and it completely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, The 30 acres of landscaped grounds, vineyards, and olive groves felt like an escape from the world. Our bach was spacious, modern, and well appointed – Kiwi bach style but with luxury finishes. Our number 9 two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout was perfect for us. The kitchen was fully equipped (everything we needed for self-catering), and we used the outdoor, undercover Weber BBQ to cook our meals. The living area had a cosy fireplace, and the cosy, private deck offered stunning views across the Matakana Valley and river. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the showers were great and the place was spotlessly clean. The location – just a short drive to Matakana Village, wineries, market and cinema as well as beautiful beaches like Omaha (15 mins away). A short one hour drive and you're back in Auckland city. The host, Michael was genuinely friendly and helpful, providing great local recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. It felt personal and attentive without being intrusive. Pama, the housekeeping manager was a breath of fresh air - breezing by the bach every second day to offer us a huge smile, more complimentary water and see if we wanted our unit cleaned. If you’re after a relaxing, high-quality stay in the heart of Matakana wine country this is your place – Riverside is a 10 out of 10 Leaving the amazing view behind

- Carola (9/5): Definitely stay here again! - Very spacious place, surrounded by lovely gardens. Very friendly staff and the fireplace was very welcome with the rain. We loved it so much we already booked for our way back. Someone with I guess fresh linnens was parked in front of our units livingroom with running engine at 9 am. She sat there for at least 15 minutes. We kind off got the idea she was waiting for us to leave as we were the only guests in the section.

The Bach had plenty of space for the two of us and the grounds were immaculate. The pool onsite fantastic and we made the most of it daily. Super relaxing space and had everything we needed. Quick drive to both Matakana and Warkwoth which was very handy. Our first stay here and will now be a regular spot for us to get away, reconnect and unwind. The weather turned it on for us our entire stay but I think it would also be a great winter getaway spot too. Fabulous time. Can't wait to go back.
- Laurie (10/5): Beautiful and peaceful - Loved the privacy, the space, the staff, the patio and just everything about it. Matakana village is so quaint and has all you could need. We will be back! Absolutely nothing
- Bruce (10/5): Our stay was perfect. A great place to relax but still close to all the local attractions. - The location was great and the property had a wonderful setting and grounds which made the stay very relaxing. The bed was a little soft for us but that is personal dislike as we like to sleep on hard beds.
- Philip (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, facilities nice heated pool. Houses were well appointed, very private and comfortable. Nothing
- Sam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Scott (10/5): Very relaxing and peaceful stay! - Amazing location, grounds and great facilities.
- Aidan (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, friendly staff.
- Catherine (10/5): Definitely intend to return for another stay! - Took my senior parents so we had a bedroom each & it worked very well for us. EVERYTHING supplied and the deck with rural views was stunning. LOVED the outside pool in a private glade, and just a 5-minute drive to Matakana Saturday market. Lovely & quiet - wish we could have stayed longer. Never do reviews but had to on this occasion as just so good! If I had to nit-pick anything, the height of the sinks in the bathroom seemed a little tall for me (so kids might find it difficult) & so are the beds (which are super comfy!)
- Hayley (10/5): I wish I had booked for a longer stay, I’d give Riverside Matakana an 11/10!! - Riverside Matakana was a beautiful place to stay. The Bach was clean, and had everything you’d need to feel at home and more! It was very family friendly, we travelled with our 21 month old child who had a blast. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful. We will be returning to the beautiful matakana to enjoy to area again soon. I can’t fault this place at all!
- Lorna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Matthew (10/5): Amazing spot, an absolute hidden gem. - What’s not to like. Incredible location, beautiful grounds, amazing sunsets, pool by the river. This is as good as it gets. That we couldn’t stay longer!
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lucy (10/5): Last minute excellent decision - would come back in a heat beat - Unbelievably gorgeous location, had everything we needed. Wonderful Michael welcomed us and gave us tips and advice which was spot on. We would come again we loved it - everything we wanted was great. We’d suggest a pantry for storing a few more supplies and the 9 year old and grandma in our group were a bit short for some of the shelves to reach the cups crockery - but no deal breakers! The views, the clean and high quality kitchen and room amenities, the setting, pool and tennis set up - and fishing gear - made it top notch.
- Rochelle (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing property very relaxing and family friendly facilities. Loved our stay. Great friendly hosts.
