Have just spent 2 months voluntary work at Bua River Lodge and how priviliged i feel with a stunning location over the Bua River. The wooden lodge is cleverly designed to be open, giving the sense of truelly being amongst nature. The atmosphere is relaxing and unpretentious. Peaceful and serene - an amazing place to unwind, read a book, watch... More

New Years eve in a beautiful setting. Staff couldn't be more pleasant and helpful. Great value for money and a great experience. Would recommend.

A peaceful secluded retreat amongst the trees in a really beautiful setting with wonderful staff and great food. The island rooms are really romantic, while the hillside rooms offer great value for money, with the same fantastic service.
