If you get the chance to visit this restaurant I bet you won't be disappointed. Marg really does understand food and service......she even makes her own cheese! The best place to eat if you can make the journey but not open every night so ring first or you could stay as accommodation is top notch too. Good walks and caves... More

We stayed two nights at Riverstone Karamea just before Christmas 2010. Highly recommended - what a find! A lovely warm welcome from Marg the Owner; a top lady. The thoughtfully designed chalet, one of two, was immaculate and well presented, making for a very relaxing and comfortable stay. Marg runs a delightful Restaurant and Bar with a fine wine list....

We had Christmas at Riverstone. Such a special time my family and I had. Riverstones location, restaurant, food, villas, service were absolutely stunning. We were away from all the hussle and bussle of the city but had access to the world at large when we wanted to. Riverstone was a wonderful place to just relax, unwind, reflect. We just loved... More

Marg is an amazing Chef and we all thought her dishes were better than what we have had even in New York. The Restaurant is beautiful with an open fire and stunning furniture. Very tastefully decorated with a warm but elegant atmosphere. Marg and her staff cater to all your needs and the wine list is great too! BOUTIQUE ACCOMADATION... More
