We had a fun weekend away whitewater kayaking with friends, to celebrate a birthday. We stayed in the 6 person bunk room, which was spacious and cozy with all bed linen provided. Our evening was spent playing cards by the large open fire, and the friendly staff made us feel very welcome. We had access to all the facilities and enjoyed cold water river plunges and a warm soak in the spa. The lodge and other buildings have beautiful riverside views, making it a lovely weekend retreat.

I was on River Valley Ventures Tussock to Dune multiday bike trip in April 2025. What a fantastic trip! The accommodation was excellent, the organisers/ owners were wonderful, meals outstanding and attention to detail amazing. Friendly people, lots of laughs and a great way to see the central North Island area from a completely different perspective. What spectacular scenery! I would thoroughly recommend this trip, but don't forget they also run rafting trips on the Rangitikei River and multiday horse treks. All of which look like supercool adventures as well.

Spent 2 days and nights here March 2025 and did 2 Burn the Breeze horseback rides for experienced riders. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and along the river. The meals provided were varied and home cooked with produce grown on the premises and were quite delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Our horseback rides were great fun and the horses were wonderful, well trained and responsive. It was a learning experience to ride using Natural Horsemanship and ride without bridles and bits. Miss T was a joy to ride and did many lopes through gorgeous scenery.

Our mountain bike experience with River Valley Lodge, hosted and guided by Brian/Janey and Ross was the complete package of Dramatic landscape and beautiful scenery mixed in with great food and their insightful knowledge of the local history. The ride/terrain was on the challenging side at times, so it is very important to be setting off with mountain bikes fit for purpose and with adequate battery. A great ride that was extremely well supported by the River Valley Family team. Would have to be one of the best multi day rides of its type in the North Island. Highly recommend. Glenn and Tara

Tussock to Dunes. Four challenging days made all the worthwhile through stunning scenery, the most hospitable and knowledgeable hosts possible, great accommodation, and swimming in the Rangitiekei. A well planned and organised itinerary, professional guided by Brian and Ross and catered at River Valley by the amazing Miranda. Can't speak highly enough of your operation and team Brian. You've given us four unforgettable days of fun, laughter, almost some tears, and a physical and mental test, but we all came out smiling and happy to recommend to anyone willing to listen to our exploits. Cheers Bob and Anne

What an unbelievable experience. We were made welcome by Jacob and looked after from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. We had our motorhome on the field and were welcomed to use all the facilities, bar and restaurant with a great breakfast provided by Miranda. Janey, Tom, Brian and the whole family and staff could not have been nicer and happily chatted with us about their amazing business and the love they all have for it. Now onto the rafting itself! Wow what an adrenaline fuelled few hours. It was fantastic from start to finish and despite one of our party being a little nervous Tom was our guide and was encouraging, funny and professional throughout. At no time did we feel unsafe. The river itself is truly beautiful and it felt like there was no one else around for miles, which there probably wasn’t. If you have any doubts about this experience with this team, don’t, they will look after you throughout. Finally to cap it all as our motor home was unlikely to get back up the steep hill out Brian, who had to be elsewhere just left us the keys to his 4x4 to tow ourselves out. Thoroughly recommended and would love to visit again. thanks to all of you for such great memories.

My husband was at the lodge 20+ years ago and took me there to share the experience. I thought the special treatment was because we knew the owners. However, I quickly realized that everyone receives special attention!!! In the words of "Oly", "the serendipity of kayaking and the shangrala of accommodations". It is a must see for the visitor who wants tranquility, comfort, activity, great food and relaxation!

A warm welcome followed by friendly inclusive hospitality. Fantastic food prepared by Chef Miranda. Dinner on our second night was delicious along with great company. Worth staying just for the food. Very enjoyable scenic rafting trip with Finn down the river and we experienced some of the most spectacular scenery in NZ. Thanks Janie and Brian
