This is a fabulous motel/apartment, with hosts Mike and Charlotte being the most friendly, hospitable and efficient hosts that we had the pleasure to meet during our 5 weeks driving throughout NZ. The room we had was lovely with a spotless bathroom and kitchen area, and a really comfortable bed. It's location was perfect for our 2 night stay with a pub/restaurant, bottle shop and Pack'NSave located directly behind us; and a short drive into the bustling Rangiora city centre. We left Rangiora and headed for Greymouth via Arthur's Pass but were cutoff by a rock-slide blocking road access so we headed back to Rangiora where Mike and Charlotte were able to provide us with another night's accommodation at extremely short notice. We thoroughly recommend the Riverstone Motel as the perfect place to stay.
