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. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yu 26 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Yu Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua 27 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place, great host, pet friendly too, although I would advise if you taking your dog and plan on hiking or playing in snow to do your research first. The whole nature reserve is DOC controlled and no dogs allowed. If no dog then no worry, you wont regret this beautiful accommodation. ##### Joshua Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### cedomil 24 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was like…coming home.

Highly recommended. ##### cedomil Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anja 20 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastisk service og søde værtsfolk❤️ ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E6BC83E20C649B2C29D4AFECD46F8C511F9BA5771740036065270.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/067CB2647F402183C076929E26D43D282903D6C11740036065656.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/66B2217B69353654EEFE6AF660594FF759E60A751740036066360.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Anja Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Penny 5 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastic setting and great service ##### Penny Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly Recommended Beautiful location, welcoming and friendly host, fantastic breakfast. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Daniel is very friendly and helpful and put on a delicious breakfast for us.

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. ##### Carolyn Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The river lodge was recommended to my family by a work colleague of many years. My colleague and his wife had stayed at the establishment some ten years ago and their recommendation was made confidently and without hesitation. We only stated for two nights allowing us access to the mountain and its many wintertime attractions. We would recommend however that the main entrance be signposted and have better lighting because we found it difficult to find during night time conditions. We found our host Daniel welcoming and a delight to talk to. Our best wishes from Upper Hutt. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen, Wellington 30 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful We loved our stay. Warm and cosy with a wonderful fire in our chalet.

Would have liked some screens on windows though as insects prevent fresh air. Relaxing and ability to self cater if you wish. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Priscila 7 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Priscila Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn 15 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Carolyn Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Betty 23 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dani and Fran were very accommodating and friendly ##### Betty Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Harmony Marina Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gros-Islet-Hotels-Harmony-Marina-Suites.h22378.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rose and Crown Hotel – Tonbridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tonbridge-Hotels-Best-Western-Rose-Crown-Hotel.h10748.Hotel-Information) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Corsica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Corsica-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6049372-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Windsor California Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-California-Hotel.h22117011.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Munich - City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Munich-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Munich-City-Centre.h521148.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bundoran](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels.d11234.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Irton Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holmrook-Hotels-Irton-Hall.h4779181.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cornish Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavistock-Hotels-The-Cornish-Arms.h24442772.Hotel-Information) > > [INK Hotel Amsterdam - MGallery](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-INK-Hotel-Amsterdam-MGallery.h8096.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Dubai Jumeirah Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Dubai-Jumeirah-Residences.h39154422.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Teesside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Teesside-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d182671-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Imbali Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Imbali-Safari-Lodge.h1964193.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belvedere](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellagio-Hotels-Hotel-Belvedere.h4279382.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lanchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lanchester-Hotels.d6341581.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Grand Hotel Llandudno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Llandudno.h1201479.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [ Hotel Calimala Florence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Calimala.h37955169.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Reus (REU)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/reu/east-midlands-to-reus) ### Packages ### General ---
