Our property is tucked away on a private street with an outlook to the Mataura river. Our guests tell us that the home is clean, well decorated and better than the average accomadation.
My husband and I live next door to River retreat and love the lifestyle of our small town. We enjoy spending time with family and friends, our dogs and Russ loves his music.
Mataura is nice and central and only 45 minutes to the Catlins, 2 hours to dunedin and Queenstown, an hour and a half to Te Anau and 50 minutes to Invercargill. The fishing in the area is world famous and we are known as the country music capital of NZ. We have a strong rural community and the locals are so freindly and laid back.
