Riversdale Beach Golf Club

Reviewed By MichaelA3554

We love coming to this place for a meal on the weekends and stay a week at a time, great for wine and for a few beers. The club is where the locals hang out, and although it's a small community, they are friendly and will make you feel welcome if you're out visiting the beach community of Riversdale. The shop is very helpful and have great coffee and fish and chips and great burgers etc. nice people come see all of us!!! And if you're a part-time resident like we are, you'll come to count on this place as being one of the social hubs of the village. They do meals on a Friday night, decent roasts, steaks or fish & chips. Nothing fancy, but out here that's all you want and all you need. That and a handle of beer or two...

There are many day and overnight treks.Main carpark is usually full by 9am but there is still plenty of parking and camping areas.The Atiwhakatu trek is Awesome trek 6 hrs return moderate pace. Uphill through native bush but it does level out in places.Boardwalks and swing bridges , stairs. slushy areas after rain.Take good footwear and layer the clothing as weather can change.Toilets at hut but bring toilet paper and liquid to drink. Overall track is very good.Toilets at car park area as well. The Gentle Annie trek and rock lookout is worth the extra hour climb.There are many other tracks and huts to test your fitness.
