Riverrun is a lovely lodge set on a hillside down a quiet gravel road. It is outside of town, and that is a very good thing as Wanaka can get a bit crazy (we were there over the New Year). The lodge is beautiful with lots of hand-crafted furniture made from vintage wood. There are sitting areas, the dining room,... More

We have experienced some of the finest accommodations in New Zealand, and Riverrun is the one we would come back to first. Wanaka is, of course, hard to beat, but Riverun is also a beautiful place unto itself, and Meg Taylor is a wonderful hostess. The feeling you have at Riverrun is that you have just been invited into someone's... More

I'm in the travel industry, and I rarely write reviews as a result, but I feel compelled to comment on what a wonderful stay we had at Riverrun Lodge in Wanaka. The property is at the end of a gravel road, on a hillside adjacent to a working sheep farm, in one of the most gorgeous and pristine locations in... More

Meg runs an incredible lodge that is luxurious with open log fires, an beautiful outdoor cedar hot tub and the views of the snow capped mountain range is to die for. The evening drinks and nibbles were unexpected and welcomed and her personal service is so down to earth and friendly that we felt like we had known her for... More

The location may at a first glance seem far out, but the stay was fantastic. We had comfortable rooms, and a real nice view from the rooms. The lodge provided a very relaxed atmosphere. The food was excellent, drinks and snacks in the evening, a delicious dinner, a selection of fruits available, and a lunch packet if needed. Absolutely recommendable. More

We stayed at Riverrun in February; our review has been delayed by travel and work. We picked the Lodge for location but also because of the breadth of activities and places to visit on offer in their programmes. We wanted a beautiful rural setting and also wanted to see Milford Sound, the glaciers and to walk. The flexibility of what... More
