    This property was excellent and had everything and more that we would require for our overnight stay. The bed was super comfy and the owner was very friendly and helpful. We would recommend this property to others who might be visiting Geraldine.

    Ricky was a wonderful host and the unit was exactly what we were after. Beautiful rural setting yet close to town. Will definitely stay again if we are in the region.

Ricky (Erica) & Andrew Tedham
Our studio unit has a theme of Mallard Ducks and although the unit itself is compact it does have all the facilities you would require for your stay. The shower room is a little dated and the shower cubicle itself is on the small side. We feel though that the position of the unit which is situated at the rear of our lovely New Zealand villa makes up for the less than modern features. If it is privacy warmth & friendliness you are seeking then we are sure that Rivendell will not disappoint!
