The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. Nestled deep within the emerald embrace of the rainforest, the River Retreat wasn't just a place to stay; it was an experience that rejuvenated the soul. From the moment we arrived, the symphony of the jungle enveloped us – the gentle rush of the pristine river, the chirping chorus of unseen birds, and the rustling whispers of leaves creating a natural lullaby. the retreat offered fantastic opportunities to immerse ourselves in the rainforest's wonders. Guided walks led us through trails teeming with vibrant flora and fauna, revealing hidden waterfalls and sharing the secrets of this ancient ecosystem. What truly set the River Retreat apart was the warmth and genuine hospitality of the staff. They anticipated our needs with a smile, offering insightful local knowledge and ensuring every aspect of our stay was comfortable and memorable.

The lodge features a flat-screen TV. The kitchenette comes with a fridge, a dishwasher and a microwave and there is shower with free toiletries and a hairdryer.

Mystery Creek Events Centre is 45 km from the lodge, while Garden Place Hamilton is 27 km away. Hamilton Airport is 35 km from the property. The bed and daybed were very comfortable. Loved the added touch of a continental breakfast being supplied. We chose this place for the scenery because there was a walk on the doorstep, it didn't disappoint. The walk by the river and through the trees is lovely it's about a 2k round trip. You can cool off in the river. We found 2 really clear shallow spots. Mary is a lovely host, and we actually could have spent the day chatting to her. We will definitely be back.

This lodge has a garden, barbecue facilities, free WiFi and free private parking. We liked everything about Hares Rest. The location is perfect and the Lodge is very comfortable and clean with a fabulous vista surrounded by beautiful gardens. Alli and Glyn, the hosts were friendly, welcoming and helpful and they provided us with everything we needed for a perfect stay. The breakfast hamper Alli provided was very special and included her fresh homemade bread and granola, locally sourced fresh produce and her homemade treats, were delicious. The tranquil and relaxing environment of the lodge was fabulous and is near to Lake Taupo and a number of attractions in the surrounding area.I would not hesitate in recommending Hares Rest.
