About us

We are set in a world heritage national park, nestled in amongst a grove of native trees with breathtaking views of Mount Ruapehu. We would love you to join us and experience this unique location in our gorgeous chalet style accommodation. The River Lodge offers the perfect location to unwind at the end of a day of exploration. Listen to the gentle bubble of the Mangawhero river which runs serenely behind the lodge, framing the beautiful gardens and native beech trees. Relax in a hot tub and enjoy one of New Zealand's first class wines while watching the sunset throw its majestic colours against the magnificent Mt Ruapehu. With numerous adventures on your doorstep, from hiking, biking, skiing, trout fishing, hunting, tramping, canoeing or touring the world famous Ruapehu, Whanganui or Tongariro National Parks, The River Lodge has something to offer for everyone. We are close to Ohakune, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, the Old Coach Road, the Turoa Skifield and the Wanganui River; offering spectacular accommodation options.

On Purpose Adventures
On Purpose Adventures
Multi-city
Crossed arms. Poked out bottom lips. Eye rolls. Sighs of displeasure. Mention team building, and you might get these reactions. The thought of another ropes course, forced togetherness or (gasp!) trust falls while keeping your already busy team from their work can create more stress than staying at the workplace. But not with On Purpose Adventures. Your group may need team building (focused on skill development/enhancement) or team bonding (focused on relationship-minded activities) or a combination of both. But whatever the activity, it needs to be facilitated WITH purpose and ON purpose. Most team building programs don’t tie the experience into real-world, job-related application. But ours does. On Purpose delivers team building and bonding with a purpose. Our programs are structured around the way your team operates, and can be tailored to fit your specific challenges and goals. Your team will engage in collaborative activities that build communication, cohesiveness, and enhance skills like collective problem solving, while having fun together. Team building and bonding with On Purpose Adventures brings your team members together in exciting, driven, purposeful activities that make a big impression and generate a genuine team response, keeping them productive and engaged. Skill enhancement happens in a real-life relatable structure, so your takeaways aren’t easily forgotten or lost as soon as the fun ends. Let us help you strengthen your team - on purpose.
