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 Jul 27, 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.

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 Sep 16, 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 Sep 8, 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 Jul 22, 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 Aug 30, 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. Delicious breakfast and beautiful location. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 7, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Peaceful country lodge Lovely hosts and breakfast with cabins set in scenic riverside property. Would have liked some screens on windows though as insects prevent fresh air. Relaxing and ability to self cater if you wish. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Residence Inn by Marriott Boston Back Bay/Fenway](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Boston-Back-BayFenway.h6042802.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Moxché Playa del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Secrets-Moxche-Playa-Del-Carmen.h68897679.Hotel-Information) > > [Willow Bend Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Willow-Bend-Motel.h2816709.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Pembroke Inn & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Pembroke-Hotels-Best-Western-Pembroke-Inn-Conference-Centre.h7416455.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in St. Martins](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Martins-Hotels.d57759.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Flamingo Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-Flamingo-Hotel.h4450.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Mexico-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d117-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Sheraton Grand Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Los-Angeles.h17422.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Quality-Inn.h15863.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Niagara-Falls.h1403139.Hotel-Information) > > [Rodeway Inn King William](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Rodeway-Inn-King-William.h1371071.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Piarco (POS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pos/toronto-to-port-of-spain) > > [Flights from Hyderabad (HYD) to Detroit (DTW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/hyd/dtw/hyderabad-to-detroit) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to ROM-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/rom/toronto-to-rome) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Lahore (LHE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/lhe/ottawa-to-lahore) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to San Juan (SJU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sju/toronto-to-san-juan) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/del/winnipeg-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Thunder Bay (YQT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yqt/delhi-to-thunder-bay) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Toronto.d178314.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Jamaica](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/88/Jamaica) > > [Nigeria Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Nigeria.d136.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals > [Harbour Breton Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Harbour-Breton-Vacation-Rentals.d6341899.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) > > [Cambridge Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Cambridge-Vacation-Rentals.d10479.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) ### General > [Visit Oakville](https://www.expedia.ca/Oakville.dx9236) > > [Visit Isle of Skye](https://www.expedia.ca/Isle-Of-Skye.dx6131920) > > [Visit Southbank](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Southbank.dx601789) > > [Visit Big Sur](https://www.expedia.ca/Big-Sur.dx177505)
