Pros: Cozy pods with everything you need. The restaurant food is amazing and dinner delivery great. The kids enjoyed the farm animals and the maze many times over - although I think if you are staying here they should give you free tokens to do the maze, would be an added bonus. Shared facilities like kitchen and bathrooms very clean and very useable.

Cons: I think with winter deals available on other websites which I found later on, these deals should have been reflected on the price here, so whereas I thought I was getting s good deal, I realised I could have got a better one.

Pros: Awesome little spot for a getaway. Cabin is cute, comfortable and cozy! You can see the effort they put into making sure things are clean and comfy. Great spot to get away from it all

Cons: Check in process could be a little better. It wasn’t clear where to check in and then I had to line up with people who were ordering food and coffee in order to check in. No big deal though

Pros: The accommodation was so unique and entertaining. The animals and environment provided so much fun for our children. In all honesty it was heavenly!

Cons: The staff were pleasant but busy so communication was minimal and is the only tiny improvement we could think of.

Pros: I had an incredible time most relaxing family friendly place I have stayed! My son who is 2years old just played and explored the whole time and it was so safe I didn’t need to worry the whole time

Pros: Very cosy

Pros: Great location to break the trip down to wellington Clean and tidy Great host

Cons: A little cramped, but was ok and we accept that. Stairs into hut were icy, and needed the path from the stairs to drive extending as had to walk in mud.

Pros: Staff were all friendly, incredibly welcoming and exceedingly helpful

Cons: No a/c in rooms which was a problem during the day, but at night it cooled down sufficient for a comfy sleep. Sunset horseback ride was amazing!

Pros: Everything here is delightful. The sound of rushing water in the river is hypnotic. It is a rare opportunity to really get off the beaten path to somewhere remote. I love the eco positive efforts being made by the lodge.

Pros: All of the staff were extremely friendly, and the food for breakfast was delicious. The location was also quite pretty.

Cons: When we booked the room, I hadn't read the reviews, and thought I was booking a room in Taihape, as the River Valley Lodge came up on TripAdvisor as No. 1 in Taihape. The Lodge is actually outside of Taihape down a very long winding road, which kind of defeated our purpose for staying in Taihape in order to get an early start in the morning! But for that, it was a nice place to stay.

Pros: We loved environnement and activities of The site of river valley lodge

Cons: To much noise at night with kiwi experience people having a party every night till very late and they let a real mess in the kitchen.

Pros: It was magical and beautiful. Be prepared to be in a remote area. Staff incredibly charming and bathroom modern with underfloor heating which was a bonus. Very clean and comfortable.

Cons: We lost our gps in return trip so access roads lacked signage. Glad we are kiwis and managed to find our way.

Pros: Roast dinner was amazing. Our private double room was very comfy and nice. Staff were very friendly. We really enjoyed our rafting trip.

Cons: The communal kitchen is very small.

Pros: Friendly people & great home cooked meals, no distractions from city life, great for my 6 yr old boy as there is so much to explore, waterfall is tranquil, going to sleep with the sounds of Moreporks & waking up early with a hot cuppa to the sounds of Stags on the hill beside us, definitely a hidden gem.

Pros: Great place to stay and relax !!!

Pros: Oliver the duty manager and the chef (lady with blonde hair, regrettably forgot her name) are passionate and knowledgeable, absolutely enjoyed their stories and the dinner and breakfast reminded us of our home country... 10/10

Cons: The woodfired sauna was not ready at the time advised and could hardly enjoy it as we had to leave at 10am. We made a prepayment and was asked to pay again which was sorted but if your not a morning person it's a bit of a let down

Pros: Underfloor heating in the bathroom

Cons: We were travelling with the Kiwi Experience and as a couple, we had to ore book all our double rooms. When I contacted the property, I was informed that all the double rooms were taken therefore I researched online and found a double room with bookings.com for 179. When handed a accommodation form on the Kiwi bus, I was told there were double rooms for 125 therefore we asked for one of those. On check in, we were given one on those rooms but was still charged the 179 and not the 125 price. No money had debuted my account at this point so after a conversation with management, they would not give it to us for 125. She said that we could have had a double cabin for 80. At this point was very angry. Also, if you don’t want to do white water rafting or horse riding for 200 dollars then there is nothing to do there and the facilities are poor. No TV or entertainment. The meal in the evening was poor and was not worth the 18.50. It’s very disappointing you cannot skip stops on the Kiwi experience. This would be one of them.

Pros: This motel was the amazing. Beds were so comfortable The rooms were also was so warm. We loved our stay

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: It was a fine place to stay just for one night on the way from one place to another. It is a small town situated on a major route. The town has a few places to eat on the main street and McDonalds, which serves a good Gourmet range burgers from NZ beef and has a professional coffee machine with barristers for a good coffee in the morning.

Cons: The room was on a smaller side and we struggled to arrange our suitcases in the room.

Pros: The staff had taken the time to heat the room for us, which we were so grateful for on a cold night. The room was very clean and had all that we needed.

Pros: Host was wonderful and turned the heater on in the unit so it was cozy when we arrived. We really appreciated her thoughfulness.

Pros: This was a great place for a stop-over after hiking the Tongario Alpine Crossing if you're heading south. Good old school motel, clean, updated and great management! In traditional Kiwi style, tea and milo provided!

Pros: Great little motel, very clean and tidy really impressed

Pros: Spotlessly clean and very comfortable

Cons: I prefer motel units with a kitchen sink rather than washing dishes inthe handbasin in the bathroom. In knew that this was the situation when I booked and was happy with this for my one night stopover on my way to Tauranga. Wanted to watch SKY sport which they have available.

Pros: Love the hosts - very friendly.
