The River Lodge Ltd.

We are set in a world heritage national park, nestled in amongst a grove of native trees with breathtaking views of Mount Ruapehu. We would love you to join us and experience this unique location in our gorgeous chalet style accommodation.

The River Lodge offers the perfect location to unwind at the end of a day of exploration. Listen to the gentle bubble of the Mangawhero river which runs serenely behind the lodge, framing the beautiful gardens and native beech trees. Relax in a hot tub and enjoy one of New Zealand's first class wines while watching the sunset throw its majestic colours against the magnificent Mt Ruapehu.

With numerous adventures on your doorstep, from hiking, biking, skiing, trout fishing, hunting, tramping, canoeing or touring the world famous Ruapehu, Whanganui or Tongariro National Parks, The River Lodge has something to offer for everyone.

We are close to Ohakune, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, the Old Coach Road, the Turoa Skifield and the Whanganui River; offering spectacular accommodation options.
