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 gracious home. We'll be back!

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 a country that is filled with them - the view from our room was breathtaking. Riverrun itself is a wonderful combination of homey comfort and understated luxury. Meg, our host, hits every detail with the right note, from the appointments in the bathroom and the terrific volumes of short stories in our room, to the fantastic cedar hot tub on a small promontory at the edge of the property. We stayed in for dinner, and it was easily one of the best meals we've had in New Zealand. Breakfast the following morning was also top notch (I don't think I've ever raved about toast before, but even that was a "best ever"). Riverrun is simply how it should be done - a truly comfortable place to stay with understated elegance, where the guest is the priority. I hope we are fortunate enough to return someday.

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 years! Thanks Meg for a beautiful and relaxing 3 days and I hope you get to do more traveling to Tanzania, Croatia and China! We will be back soon!

We spent a few very nice days here! The lady of the lodge was very very nice and spoiled us with good breakfast, appetizers in the late afternoon en snacks for on our trips. Very willing to help us with everything and also free WIFI! We loved the hottub outsite where you can enjoy the beautiful stars on the best spot ever.
Beautiful views from the nice rooms... we are absolutely 100% confident. Thnx for letting us staying here. Regards, Rik and Corinne Keijzer, NL
