We absolutely loved our wedding down there, it was perfect.

It really felt like it was about us. We had the whole venue to ourselves for the whole weekend.

How To Find RiverRidge Retreat – Natures Paradise…

Getting here is easy! We are far enough to get away from it all, but not too far to get here!...

FROM THE NORTH
Drive 10kms south of Owaka on the Papatowai Highway.
Look for the Catlins River Walk sign, turn at the Catlins River Walk sign and drive 3.5 km to us.

You know you are getting close as you drive on the gravel road with the beautiful Catlins River on your right, birds, wildlife, sheep and cattle surround you at differing times of the year.

FROM THE SOUTH
Look for the Catlins River Walk sign, turn at the Catlins River Walk sign and drive 3.5 km to us.

When you come from the south you are treated to a panoramic view of the Houipapa and Tawanui Valleys in the Catlins. After winding down what is known as Gibbs hill, the sign you are looking for is within a kilometre from the bottom of the hill.

I found RiverRidge Retreat to be the ideal venue for Tony and my wedding.

It enabled us to have all of our family and friends, accommodated on site.

We ended up having 60 of our closest stay with us at the retreat for three days – such a very special time.

Our other guests stayed in nearby accommodation.

A big thanks to Adele and Gary for their amazing help to make our dream wedding day.

Maria Jones, Dunedin, NZ

Adele helped to make our wedding so unique and special to us.

She customised everything and made it such a personal experience.

Her communication and organisation made the planning simple.

We always had full confidence in her.
