Hosting a Retreat

Custom - Made - Success

The RiverRidge Retreat is the ideal venue to host your retreat if you are wanting your guests to be immersed within Natures Paradise – to wake to the sound of an abundance of bird life; to hear the water rippling across the rapids in the distance and to be nestled amongst rich native bush – all the while being accommodated in Eco friendly cabins and a purpose built function centre that blends in with the natural environment.

Located on beautifully groomed grounds beside the Catlin’s river and surrounded by lush native bush and stunning ridges the RiverRidge Retreat resonates peace and tranquillity.

Situated in a picturesque setting in the Catlins, Otago, the RiverRidge Retreat is the Southern most retreat in the World.

The Catlin’s is a major highlight (a hidden gem) on the East coast of the south island, New Zealand. The Catlins is an area of great contrasts and natural beauty with an abundance of extraordinary wildlife – one of New Zealand’s few remaining untouched pieces of paradise.
