We had a great stay and felt very welcomed right from check-in. Incredible accommodation that we would highly recommend. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The breakfast included was amazing, and there were numerous other complimentary snacks which was a nice touch.

Great location. Very comfortable. Jan & Graeme were wonderful hosts. Especially enjoyed the 5:30pm cellar door drinks. Typical southern hospitality. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous B&B accommodation in the heart of Cromwell, within walking distance to local shops, supermarket, restaurants and easy to access the local walking winery tour too, so no real need to use the car during your stay! The units are well appointed and have everything you need for a comfortable stay alongside some thoughtful touches like make-up wipes in the bathrooms and the best juice ever in the fridge. The owners really make the stay at River Rock, they are lovely and long-time locals and are a wealth of knowledge of the region. The spa house onsite is also well worth doing!! Will be recommending to all we know planning to visit Central Otago.

Relax unwind...

You can do as much as like or just relax, unwind with one of their wonderful wines. Hosts welcome you daily with wine tasting, cellar sales. Or if you are more action orientated , only a short drive to all the exciting tourist attractions the area has to offer. Will be going back real soon.
