Tucked away at the base of the Ruahine Ranges and Mt. Aorangi, on the banks of the Rangitikei River, River valley lodge is the perfect escape from the stress of every day life. As an adventure lodge, we highly recommend getting out on the river, or on land, and trying one of our adventure activities. But a River Valley stay, need not be just about rafting or riding horses. The Lodge is also a great place to relax. There are several short walks, a great swimming hole in the river, two saunas and a spa, and plenty of places to just relax with a book. At the lodge you will find a range of accommodation options from backpacker style bunk rooms, to campsites, through to deluxe Riverside Suites perfect for a romantic weekend away. Our cafe and restaurant serves fresh, paddock to plate style food and a lot of the ingredients come from our own vegetable gardens. River Valley Lodge is also an ideal venue to catch up with friends, have a reunion with family, book for a corporate retreat or adventure, take time out to recharge your batteries, or simply use as a base for some fantastic adventuring. Whether you are looking for a scenic weekend retreat, an adventure holiday or simply a beautiful place to put your head for a night we would love to invite you to come and stay with us, but be warned, once you experience the valley, some people never leave.
