I would give River Birches 100 stars if I could. We stayed here for two nights on our honeymoon and it might have been our favorite part of the 2 week trip.

We stayed at the cottage, very beautiful and cosy. Place is nice and clean, kitchen is very well equipped. We had dinner on site and everything was perfect. Kids loved the place, everyone there was amazing. New World is less than 5min driving.

Words will not do River Birches and Rebecca and Jason justice. I could find nothing to fault. It is just perfect. John went fishing and I, thanks to a recommendation by Jason, tackled the Tongariro Crossing. This will go down as one of my greatest achievements. The guides they booked for both...
