Family weekend at Hurunui River Lodge
We had a great experience staying at the Lodge. Starting with a warm greeting from Jan, our family felt at home and had all the facilities needed for a great weekend. Very tidy, clean and homely. Great location with trips to the ocean and river, as well as walks in the area.
