Riverstone Terraces (commonly referred to as simply 'Riverstone') is a suburb of Upper Hutt in the Hutt Valley of New Zealand's North Island, perched on a hill previously known as Craig's Flat,[3] above the Hutt River.[4][5]
Although mostly residential, the suburb also contains bush walks, a children's playground, and the suburb formerly harboured a small convenience store. The nearest supermarket is in central Upper Hutt, 4.9 to 8.1km away (depending on where one starts in the suburb). The suburb's streets commemorate the names of notable Upper Hutt residents, including Frankie Stevens, James Nairn, Paul Swain and Cory Jane.
A peak-time Metlink bus service, route 113, services the suburb.[6]
