What our guests had to say

We spent 4 nights at this stunning lodge, and found the hosts and the food wonderful. The lodge is beautifully decorated and the garden stunningly well cared for. The bed in our room was sumptuous, and we could not have chosen anywhere better. Using the lodge as a base we explored the...

Jason & Rebecca and their staff made us very welcome and were very attentive. The room with en-suite was very comfortable and the food was as good as you would find in any fine dining experience. Anthony on front-of-House was exceptionally good. Lovely gardens. All in all, a really...

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. Jason and Rebeca are the most wonderful hosts, they went above and beyond and were incredibly accommodating, even loaning us winter clothes...

Just steps away from the Tongariro river, rolling pastures, and serene nature paths, our stay at River Birches couldn't have been better. The lodge itself is beautifully designed with nature in mind, while also offering comfortable, elegant, and stylish amenities that were thoughtfully put...

We stayed at the cottage, which was beautifully designed and very homey. Jason was very attentive and was really helpful with planning for the Tongariro crossing/fly fishing. Dinner was also great. We will definitely want to go back next time we visit New Zealand!

It was also a fabulous place to come back to after finishing the hike to lounge in the backyard and bbq a nice meal. They had...

David Friedkin

Our family stayed at the River Birches Lodge for a little less than a week and enjoyed every moment of it. The lodge itself is well kept, inviting, and very cozy! Jason and Rebeca are very hands on and accomodating; they want you to have the most amazing stay and experience the most of the area...

Stephanie Ortiz

We arrived at Turangi with a plan to do Tongariro Alpine crossing and were lucky enough to stay at the River birches. I must say that accommodation is amazing, but the most important and valuable thing about this place is homy atmosphere and tremendously giving hosts. They do really care not...

This is an absolutely beautifully built lodge set in a wonderful English style and very well maintained garden. The whole structure is architect designed with lovely design touches, tasteful decor and artifacts. The rooms are beautiful and beautifully equipped. Jason and Rebecca provide a very...

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.
