Location & area

Getting there from Nelson



Follow SH6 towards Richmond/Takaka/Collingwood. Keep straight-ahead bypassing Richmond town centre and turn right on SH60, the Appleby Highway, towards Motueka/Takaka/Collingwood. Pass through Motueka and then the small township of Riwaka and onwards past the two turnings on the right going to Abel Tasman National Park (Kaiteriteri & Marahau).



After a further 2km, at the foot of the Takaka Hill, take the small turning on the left down Riwaka Valley Road (sign-posted with a blue bed LODGE sign and a brown sign to Riwaka Resurgence & Kahurangi National Park). Follow this road straight-ahead (right/north branch) towards the source of the river for 5.7 kms until you see the sign for the lodge on the right (just after a deer farm and then the road narrows sign).



We are 50 minutes from Nelson airport and 15 minutes from Motueka.
