Detailed Reviews
We had originally planned to begin our South Island tour with a few days in Queenstown. Friends in Melbourne suggested Wanaka instead as our base and so we duly booked in at Riverview Terrace. We had some concerns initially about being outside the town but it proved very easy to get taxis to and from the property. In fact it was nice to come back to such an island of calm. Riverview Terrace is in a beautiful location with wonderful views. We had the lovely Pisa room with its wide outlook. James and Nicky were very welcoming and helpful with recommendations. Our days started off with a lovely breakfast and for dinner we were more often than not drawn to Relishes in Wanaka which offered truly imaginative food beautifully prepared. We were lucky to have beautiful weather all the time we were there and would love to go back some day. Much to be recommended.

We stayed 3 nights and loved our stay. The property is gorgeous and had a real feel of peacefulness. We really enjoyed the pre-dinner drinks and canapes and the wonderful breakfasts. We borrowed their bikes for the day which was great fun and took their advice about activities. In the evening it's about a 5-10 minute drive into town to restaurants and one night we organised taxis which was very easy. There's no fridge in the room, but Nicky and James let us use theirs for some of our picnic items. We really enjoyed our stay at Riverside Terrace and Wanaka has a lovely feel to it. Thank you

We spent a night at Nikki and James's house. They were very welcoming, gave us great recommendations and the most amazing breakfast.
The room itself was comfortable and quiet, the house luxurious.
Our room was just a few steps away from the outside hot tub which was a blessing in such cold and rainy weather. The views were super! Overall such a great experience. Will definitely be back!

We enjoyed a longer stay at Riverview Terrace. which has superb views and well appointed rooms. The location is perfect for exploring Wanaka and the surrounding area, as well as being within walking distance of Mt Iron, Clutha river, and a wonderful local patisserie. Everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing stay is provided as well as thoughtful extras. We particularly enjoyed the bikes, table-tennis, and watching the stars from the spa. 100% recommended.

This is a 3-room wing in a private, relatively modern home in an upscale suburb of Wanaka, hosted by James (a winemaker) and Vicky (a professional chef) who are a font of knowledge about interesting things to do in the area. Their recommendations were superb. They keep a permanent reservation for a table every night at Francesca's, a fine Italian restaurant in town. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a view of the mountains. Vicky's breakfasts were gourmet masterpieces.

We stayed here for only one night but we packed in a lot for our short visit. The hosts Rachel and James had us set up early so we were able to get settled in and relaxed after a full on day in Wanaka. The hot pool was a welcome delight for our tired legs and we enjoyed this treat before heading off to Wanaka for dinner. Rachel and James are wonderful hosts and very helpful and hospitable. Highly recommended stay. Thank you.

We had a brilliant time. The bed and breakfast was awesome. The views across the mountains were incredible and the hosts were lovely. They arranged a brilliant wine tour for us, and the free bikes were an added bonus. The breakfast was delicious too. I would 100% recommend it.

Our first experience of B&B and a very good one. James and Nicky were welcoming and open, providing advice and information about anything from where to eat to the best walks and views. Their hospitality, facilities and amenities were excellent. The room was exactly as described and more. The breakfasts were generous and very well cooked. We wouldnt hesitate to stay again.

I have been meaning to write this review for ages and on logging on was devastated to read that Pam and Peter are no longer running it. New owners- you have big shoes to fill and from the sound of recent reviews are doing so admirably! We had the most wonderful stay here- the house is beautiful and immaculate, our room was so comfortable, the view was stunning, breakfast was amazing. Pam and Peter started off each evening beautifully with canapes and wine and then Peter would give us a lift into town for one of the very good restaurants. Breakfast was amazing. In short, we always say that if Carlsberg made B&Bs...... probably an English joke though. it was great and we hope to be back someday.

Wonderfully appointed bed and breakfast in a perfect part of the country. Spacious room with lovely bathroom and facilities. A night time spa under the stars was a absolute treat. Hosts we very welcoming without being 'intrusive'... breakfast was lovely and quite 'abundant'.
