Your Social Event in Nature's Paradise

The venue sits on 15 acres of immaculately groomed grounds and is located in an idyllic setting in the very heart of the Catlins, Otago.

The RiverRidge venue is the southern most retreat in the world and with this comes natures paradise – gorgeous native bush ridges, an abundance of native bird life, magnificent coastal cliffs and headlands, long white beaches, caves and sandy bays, beautiful native rain forests, waterfalls, rivers, hidden lakes and rolling green pastures.

An ideal venue to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and host your social event or retreat. At RiverRidge Retreat you have exclusive use of the venue for the duration you choose.
