Rathmoy Riverside Lodge

Privately positioned beside the Rangitīkei River, with its own dedicated riverfront area

Coffee on the deck while the valley wakes. A cast into clear water before lunch. The cedar hot tub under more stars than you remembered existed.

The lodge sits where the lawn meets the Rangitīkei, the White Papa Cliffs rising from the opposite bank. Privately positioned within the wider working farm, the lodge has its own dedicated riverfront area reserved for lodge guests: the lawn, the riverbank and the quiet are yours to enjoy. And bring the dog — pets are part of the family here.

Wood smoke, hot water and the whole valley gone quiet.

Every stay comes with the lodge’s signature ritual: the cedar hot tub on its own deck above the river, wood-fired and waiting. Light it as the sun drops, sink in as the sky fills, and stay until the Milky Way is directly overhead. No light pollution, just you, the steam and the stars.
