A Genuine New Zealand Adventure Lodge
How do you indulge your adventurous spirit at River Valley Lodge?
Have you imagined yourself being able to spend time away from the frantic pace of everyday life?
Have you pictured yourself riding a horse into the sunset?
Have you wondered how you would feel as you helped paddle a raft through a Grade 5 rapid?
Have you visualised yourself drifting down a beautiful river, surrounded by immense cliffs?
Can you see yourself just relaxing by the river, a good book and glass of wine in hand?
Do you hear the sound of the river, the cicadas chirruping in summer, native birds calling to each other in the dawn chorus, the harsh cry of a New Zealand falcon silencing them all as it flys overhead?
At the end of the day after being out adventuring, just how would you want to feel when you returned to River Valley Lodge?
Would you want to enjoy freshly made tasty food? A soak in the hot tub would be a great way to ease some worked muscles. A couple of drinks reliving the days experiences with friends and other adventurers is always fun. And at the end of the evening you can take yourself off to a king sized bed in one of our deluxe guest rooms.
This is River Valley

Multi Adventure Holidays - a very cool break away!
Imagine a holiday, where each morning brings you a new adventure, whether it sees you horseback, raft, inflatable kayak, your own two feet, or even by helicopter. Where over a few days you get to know your guides, and people remember your name. Where each night you return to the same comfortable Lodge, where meals in the evening are filled with not only good food, but talk and laughter over the highlights of the day. Where you can call in for a massage just when you need it!
What is so exciting about these Multi Adventure Holidays is that you get the full opportunity to explore the world that is River Valley. Where you get to feel the essence of what makes River Valley what it is. You will arrive as a stranger and leave as a friend.

Why Us?
River Valley is a family business. My father in law was a river guide and still helps out around the place, I am a river guide, Nicola was a river guide, but stills guides on horse treks and trail rides. One daughter, Janey, and her partner Tom are river guides, Janey also helps guide on the horses, while Melissa another daughter has a key role in running the Lodge.
Our roots as a company are firmly on the land and on the river. We are passionate about sharing this remarkable landscape, and all its stories with you.
If you think River Valley is just another adventure company, well think again.
So to all those people that have visited River Valley over the years, Thank You. And to those yet to visit, Kia ora, and welcome.
