Set on 15 acres of private rural land the Retreat is surrounded by exotic and native bush. The property offers private river frontage with serene river views of the famous Ruakituri River from the rooms and grounds.
The Ruakituri river offers approx 70 km of arguably some of the best rainbow and brown trout fly fishing in the world. All trout are wild, which when combined with the rugged river environment they live in makes for world class fly fishing.

The retreat is approx 1 hr drive from the famous Eastwood Hill Arboretum.
A great place to take the family to fish, swim, hike, picnic, canoe and just enjoy the tranquil setting.
The 3 minute journey from the river view veranda to the home pool to catch a 5lb trout virtually off your front lawn is fantastic!

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay. My sons had lots to do, hiking around in the area and going to waterfalls, fly fishing and just relaxing in general. We enjoyed the stunning view and tranquility. It may not be for everyone, as it is fairly secluded, and takes at least 30 minutes to drive to the nearest town. It will be better to plan your meals before you get there. The house is spacious, and we had everything we needed. This is really a place to escape the day-to-day hustle and bustle.

Summary: This house is a lovely home-away-from-home. Check-in was easy and the house had everything we needed including nice warm beds. We had a very relaxing and peaceful stay. The kids didn't want to go home, which says everything really. We would definitely come and stay again.

Summary: This property was beautiful. It is very remote and therefore requires proper planning for your stay. The house was comfortable with beautiful views. The towels and linen which were provided were hotel quality which was amazing. I would suggest bringing your own fans in the hotter months. Well stocked, new kitchen but could do with some new crockery as there were many chipped cups etc. Seating areas were comfortable and allowed for hours of relaxation. Overall was a lovely, relaxed stay in a beautiful house. Thank you for sharing your bach with us.

Summary: Ruakituri was an amazing retreat to stay at and wind down. The home is well situated and set up with a new kitchen, basic but exactly what is required to enjoy and ‘switch off’, and upstairs bedrooms with a view to top it off. It’s situation is outstanding, overlooking the beautiful Ruakituri river and hill country beyond from the veranda of the house. This view alone makes the trip worthwhile. Fishing in the river is brilliant, hills to walk, though you have to cross the river, and walks up the valley road are all to be enjoyed, Our kids disappeared into the hills literally! Thanks for an amazing stay

Summary: The lodge is in a perfect location for anglers and provides perfect solitude for non-anglers. The grounds need some attention - access to the home pool below the lodge is difficult and the orchard trees are out of control. The lodge was comfortable, kitchen well-equipped, comfortable mattresses- but dining chairs need replacing and upstairs bedrooms would benefit from fly screens. The verandah was a great place to relax with a wine in the evening.
