An incredible venue and holiday stay for our elopment
We booked The River House for our elopement with 15 guests. It was the perfect place to celebrate a small wedding. Laura & Ken went above and beyond to ensure our stay and elopement went far better than expected.
The grounds were beautiful, and the river and waterfalls made for incredible photography and a unique atmosphere. The house is well appointed, with a sensible floor plan keeping bedrooms to one end, and living rooms and kitchen to the other. The underfloor warming and fireplace kept us warm blooded Australians incredibly comfortable for our winter celebration.
The house is situated super close to the Wanaka town centre and is less than 30-minutes from Cardrona Ski resort, both of which we made good use of during our stay.
Thank you again to Laura & Ken for the responsiveness and hospitality, our wedding would not have been as good as it was without you and The River House
