We stayed a few days for a work meeting. Having stayed before it was fantastic to return. Such a huge, stunning property. All of our guests mentioned that they would be back. Highly recommend to all.
This place is great - spotlessly clean on arrival and perfect for our family reunion. Plenty of room for all 19 of us. Loved the pizza oven! And well equipped kitchen for our family feast on the Saturday night. Thanks!
Our family booked the house for our Pops 70th birthday celebration. It was a lovely weekend away together with with the rainy weather. The pizza oven was a hit! Had a very yummy lunch and a great way to cook altogether! We got down to the river a bit and the kids loved the tree fort!
Great space and quiet!
We had the most amazing family getaway, there is so much to do that is suitable for everyone. We loved making pizzas in the outdoor pizza oven, there was a fire pit for toasting marshmallows, loads of outdoor games and board games. There is gorgeous walks nearby and the house was lovely and clean and perfect for accomodating 19 of us!
We all totally recommend Thrive, it is magical and the views are stunning!
A perfect place to spend time with your family or friends. An amazing location, a large comfortable house with all the essentials, including lots of books and board games.
A lovely area around the house with lots of space for outdoor games.
Stunning scenery with access to a beautiful river, where you can swim or just paddle.
We all had a wonderful time and can highly recommend this amazing house and facilities . A big thank you to Ash.
We had a fabulous weekend at Thrive with extended family at the end of April. There was something for everyone. The young grandkids loved the animals, the outdoor spaces and games. Their parents went running in the Tararuas, and all of us enjoyed crossing the swing bridge and a bush walk. The house catered for us all easily, it was great. Very clean and well equipped. The outdoor pizza oven was a favourite. Thanks for sharing your fantastic property. The owner was very helpful and communication prompt. Highly recommended.
Was a wonderful place and location. However as a venue that’s advertised to host events of up to 50 people it would’ve been nice to be made aware prior, that the property managers living on site were in a house right next to us like houses are built in the city so noise was always going to cause issues. We were asked to keep sound down after 11pm which we did with the music but plenty of friends stayed up talking into the morning and became an issue. So I wouldn’t recommend this location based solely on that it made the weekend stressful for everyone us and them and it probably shouldn’t be sold for a venue for birthday party celebrations if they can’t handle some noise for 36 hours
Thrive is an amazing place to stay especially for big groups, great facilities, house is beautiful, the short work & breath taking views by the river are what I loved. We had a Hens party there and we had the most amazing time. Ash the host was so amazing communicating all the way along, very responsive and helpful. Only thing I recommend Is REMEBER towels as it is BYO and I missed this detail mangers were great & promptly provided some for us. Thanks so much again Ash for having us all at your beautiful spot. Cheers
Thrive is an amazing venue with so much to offer. Communication from start to finish was absolutely great. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning!
Thank you for having us
Fitted the bill perfectly, our family is already plotting a return. Host was speedy on communication and house perfectly set up for what ever we might need.
We had bad weather during our stay but the house is cosy and warm. There's plenty of room for everyone to have their own space, and lots of activities and games provided. The grounds are lovely to explore, even in the rain.
A mixed family group of ten adults , and four young people We were all impressed with how any of our queries were handled, nothing was a problem.Plenty of activities for all
It's a lovely property that would work well for many types of occasions. Ours was a manager's meeting, team bonding, creating culture, enjoying the scenery. Great hosts. Warm and tidy house. Perfect!
The perfect spot for a group of friends to escape the city. Plenty of space for all of us (nearly 30!), and plenty to explore. Would absolutely recommend this property and will be back!
