River Valley is a unique lodge situated in a stunningly beautiful location beside the Rangitikei River on the Central North Island of New Zealand. It is one of the original homes of New Zealand white water rafting, with a Grade 5 section finishing outside the front door, and a fun family rafting section starting at the same place.
River Valley Stables, the base for a range of NZ Horse Treks, perfectly compliments the other outdoor adventures on offer.
River Valley also offers multiday trips for both rafting and horse riding, from 1 night to 5 nights. Furthermore, River Valley Lodge is the first place to offer wooden dory trips in all of Australasia. Dory trips run down the Whanganui River and 4,5,6 day trips are on offer.
The expertise, knowledge and insights accumulated since 1982 over three generations of guides, will ensure that there is just the right adventure for you.
River Valley is not all about adventure however. With the addition of the River Valley Spa, some indulgence in the way of 2 saunas and a hot tub.
River Valley is unique in this combination of family, multi generations, location, and great things to see and do.
