The River Lodge is a beautiful property set in lovely grounds. We had a large beautiful room, very comfortable bed, lovely bathroom and a balcony with a wonderful view of the mountain. We had fabulous breakfasts and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only downside is that it is quite remote - about a 10 minute drive into Ohakune.

We absolutely loved our stay at the river lodge. We came here to ski in Turoa but the weather is against us. Daniel’s warm brand new chalet with hot water jacuzzi and nice wine made our day in those raining days. Oh and my son loved Netflix too!
Highly recommend, it’s the best accommodation in the area, will not need to look else where if we come ski again in Whakapapa and Turoa.

5.0 / 5.0
We stayed in a self contained chalet and really enjoyed it, especially the wood fire which kept the chalet warm all night even though it was very cold outside.
Our host Daniel was superb! He found maps for the bike trails we wanted to do, gave us tips on great places to eat out (and discount vouchers). He provided a delicious rich continental breakfast both mornings and told us about a place we could visit on our way back to Wellington (Whitecliffs Boulders near Mangaweka). We did just that and it was well worth the walk.

Daniel made us feel extremely welcome and was very helpful throughout our stay. Make sure to get directions to the property from him, Google will lead you astray!

Maps didn’t get us there, but once we got there it was lovely. Daniel provides great local what to do advice and where to have dinner. His breakfast is terrific as well.

Lovely hosts and breakfast with cabins set in scenic riverside property. Would have liked some screens on windows though as insects prevent fresh air. Relaxing and ability to self cater if you wish.
