It is the perfect base from which to explore the beautiful Abel Tasman National Park offering boat trips, kayaking, walking or a combination of all 3! Or you could just laze on the stunning beaches of Kaiteriteri and Marahau which are all just 10 minutes away by car.

The cycle trails are an exciting way to see the area, with the vineyard cottage only 1km away from the trail giving access to the Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park.

Takaka and the beautiful Golden Bay is only 1 hour drive away. Have a day out 'over the hill' in Hobbit land. Visit the limestone caves on the way!

The Riwaka Resurgence is where the northern branch of the Riwaka River emerges from the depths of the Takaka Hill and is just 7km away.

Venture 15 minutes drive into Motueka to discover great cafes and restaurants, movie theatres and local artists and fresh produce the Motueka region is reknowned for.

40 minutes further on is the city of Nelson, offering many attractions including the Museum, boutique shopping, great cafes, galleries and restaurants. A walk up to the Centre of NZ is a highlight.

We had a very enjoyable four night stay at the vineyard retreat. The communication with the hosts was excellent, very friendly. The property is lovely, the kitchen has all that you require for your stay, the bed is very comfortable and the lounge area is pleasant with a view of the vineyard. We enjoyed the location of the retreat, the local area is delightful, there are so many places to visit. We would stay again at Riwaka Vineyard retreat.

Very comfortable with all the necessary features. Hosts were great on checkin and respectful of our privacy. Really enjoyed listening to all the birds and being entertained by our local group of fantails. Very convenient to Kaiteriteri Beach. Look forward to staying here again on a return trip to Kaiteriteri.

Probably not the most luxurious or spacious property on VRBO but definitely one to experience and great value for money! We loved our time on the family working vineyard, the great hosting, and the great wine next door! Ideal base to explore the delights of the Abel Tasman area. Thoroughly recommend.

We loved this place - so private, peaceful and relaxing, and a great place to unwind. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped, and well placed for exploring the Abel Tasman region. The vineyard setting was just lovely, and we particularly enjoyed wandering around the little vegetable and flower garden, or just sitting out there with our coffee in the mornings. We stayed for a week but could happily have stayed longer. Great hosts too, we felt very welcome. Thank you!

Amber and Paul were very welcoming and the vineyard was fabulous. Paul treated us to one of the most interesting wine tastings we’ve ever had. The facilities, particularly for laundry, were as described and expected. If we are ever back in the area would definitely return to this accommodation .

Ideal setting and situation
We stayed for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the Bach and surrounding area. Amber, her Mum and Paul were great hosts. We learnt a lot about grapes, hops and olives from conversations with Paul. The Bach was well appointed but a chest of drawers would have been useful in the bedroom for our longer stay. It was ideally situated to go to Kaiteriteri, Motueka and to drive north to Takaka and Collingwood. The beaches at Kaiteriteri are great and the boat trips , kayaking etc all start from here. It was our first visit to the area and we could not have picked a better place to stay.
