RIVERSTONES RETREAT
• Relax • Rejuvenate • Regenerate • Revitalise
“We look forward to sharing our piece of paradise with you.”– Michele & Gavin Courage
WELCOME
Escape to Riverstones Retreat — a tranquil, soul-nourishing sanctuary tucked away in the heart of rural Central Hawke’s Bay. Nestled on the banks of the Tukituki River, this purpose-built, boutique cottage offers riverside peace, and the perfect space to reconnect with yourself and nature.
A sanctuary for the soul in rural Central Hawke’s Bay. Riverstones Retreat invites you to relax, recharge, and reconnect with your true essence.
Stay by the Sacred Tukituki
Wake to the song of native birds, sip coffee overlooking the river, and stargaze under the brilliant night sky — perhaps spotting a Morepork (New Zealand’s native owl). In summer swim in the clear waters of the Tukituki, stay cozy in winter and fully immerse yourself in the natural surroundings .
