    Great communication, very helpful and good amenities. Wonderful cosy cottage - great fire on a cold rainy day. Kids loved the bikes and it was wonderful being so close to the River Trails. Would definitely stay again.

    The River Retreat had everything we needed and more. The bikes were great, rode the river trail, the fire place was second to none. We attended a wedding in Turangi and loved the 3 days there. Very handy to numerous places. We would recommend this place to anyone.

    Such a great stay, the house is spacious and clean. The fireplace warms the whole house up. The garden was great for our pup and the games room fun when it was too wet to go out. Good location from the snow and close to the river for fishing.

    Older property, location could not be better. Large living dining, very dated but that is the appeal of this property. Fireplace and plenty of dry firewood which is a massive bonus. We have stayed at this property many times and highly recommend. We will be back. Host very accommodating and easy to get hold of if there is a problem. Also has a fenced grass area which is perfect of you have a dog. Definitely recommend.
