About this property

Retro vibe 2 bedroom house across from Castlecliff beach

"Le Riva" is a taste of the 60's French Riviera, next to the rugged driftwood strewn sandy beach and around the corner from the iconic hub of Rangiora St in classic Castlecliff with it's popular Citadel Cafe. The perfect relaxing retreat to watch the sunset.
The 2 bedroom unit offers a queen size bed and two single beds all with luxury linens.
The fully functional kitchen looks out beyond the flag pole to the sea. A continental breakfast is included.
In the bright and comfortable lounge are some board games and a book swap.

Wonderful weekend!
A really lovely property, clean and comfortable (had the best two nights sleep in a long time!), and the kids had a blast with the hut in the garden and the beach so close by. Highly recommend.

Perfect place for a restful holiday
The location was perfect, just a couple of minutes walk from the Castlecliff beach and surf club. The house was nicely furnished and had everything we needed for cooking meals and having a relaxing holiday. We also thoroughly enjoyed spending time in Wanganui which is a pretty town with lots to do.

Lovely relaxing spot
Property as described. Location is lovely right near the beach, but short drive to Whanganui. The nearby citadel cafe is super close and lovely. Excellent communication. Beds comfy. Could do with an extra comfy seat in the lounge but otherwise perfect for what we wanted.
