Great nights sleep

Reviewed By Nuhakagirl

Made a late booking a couple of hours before arriving at 8pm. Manager had put heater and light on for me, much appreciated. Units are basic and older style, but very very clean, and a great comfy bed. Had a great sleep. Would stay again for sure.

River Valley Lodge

A family run business now into its 3rd generation of raft guides, River Valley started as a rafting company on a family farm, in the back blocks of Taihape. With one of the world's top half day Grade 5 rafting trips literally on the doorstep, it was a natural progression. A horse trekking stables was added over time, and it is these two adventurous activities, rafting the beautiful Rangitikei River, and exploring the magnificent hill country which is at core of River Valley. The Lodge caters for a mix of clientele, with an accommodation mix from deluxe riverside ensuite rooms, to bunk rooms. There are also 2 meeting rooms available for hire, for corporate use or private events and weddings. The Lodge restaurant and cafe serves a selection of fresh farm-to-table food, much not only prepared on site, but also grown in the extensive vegetable gardens. If shopping and cell phone reception are critical to your daily existence, then River Valley is certainly not the place for you.

One of my favourite places in New Zealand

Reviewed By GeorgeWeeks

River Valley is a gem. I stayed here for three days en route from Wellington to Auckland. I spent my time rafting, riding horses, swimming in the river and eating delicious home-cooked food. In between activities, I relaxed by the river with a good book in the afternoon sunshine. I left with a heavy heart and would gladly have stayed for longer. Here are the reasons why I love River Valley: - Consistently friendly, well-run and welcoming - Wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets; always clean and tidy - First-class activities, with instructors that really know the landscape - Excellent food, mostly grown on-site in the kitchen garden - Hot tub, 2x saunas + river swimming - Clearly run with vision and care. Everyone is welcome; other guests included families, couples, solo travellers and cycle/horse tourists on longer trips. If you're thinking about stopping off here...do it! This is a gorgeous spot and it deserves to known throughout New Zealand.

Gretna Hotel

Clean room and Very Friendly Staff

Reviewed By Mike B

My room was basci but very clean and surprisingly quiet. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The bar menu was pretty basic but I did enjoy my burger. I'd recommend the Gretna for an overnight stay.
