Fabulous stay

Our stay was absolute bliss. Pip was very clear before we arrived what we could expect with no wifi or reception. I thought we might struggled with this but we didn’t at all, and it was a nice experience not thinking of checking our phones. The river was perfect for us, it was not cold or deep which made it perfect for our children. The house itself is kept very clean and tidy, and the refurbishments make it very comfortable. We had a wonderful arrival where Pip had made us yummy afghans, left some eggs and some fresh coffee for the plunger. We got to collect the eggs from the hens, feed them and feed the friendly sheep. We walked up the hill to see a wonderful view where the house is. These were all fulfilling activities that we enjoyed together as a family. Time truely well spent. We also enjoyed playing the many outdoor and indoor games provided. Hamish and Pip were both so welcoming and shared some interesting stories and knowledge. We would recommend the river house stay for anyone looking to get away from the busyness of life.

Peaceful and homely

We felt immediately at home. The house was beautiful and surrounds were full of birdsong and the peaceful creek running behind the house. There were lots of homely touches, like freshly baked cookies, stacked fire place, marshellows for the fire and fresh coffee beans. We were welcomed by Pip, and Hamish visited too during our stay. They made sure we had eveything we needed. I would definitely recommend this house and would love to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Pip Jamieson

Hamish and I bought Ngaroma Farm in 2012, we run a 1170 hectare sheep and beef farm. After the Kaikoura earthquake and a hard drought for a few years prior. We diversified our farming practice, to include tourism here at The River House.

Why they chose this property

The ability to Disconnect ...... your phone, your work, any pressure. Nothing will find you here.. Reconnect ....with family, kids, your inner peace. Listen to total silence. Walk in our beautiful backyard of native bush, manuka & beech riverside. It is spectacular.

What makes this property unique

Disconnect and Reconnect......
Everyone says the silence is amazing, feel like we are not going to be interrupted, the house is comfy and clean and warm. Plenty of walking and quietness all round.
