Mountain Valley is a hidden gateway to the landscapes and legends of the Mohaka Valley; a magical rural retreat set on the banks of the Mohaka river, overlooked by the legendary Te Waka peak. Just 5 mins off SH5, within easy reach of Taupo and Hawke's Bay, Mountain Valley is an accessible and secluded piece of wilderness New Zealand in which to relax and recharge, or to take advantage of the iconic Kiwi adventure activities on offer.
We offer a wide range of facilities, including our new bar and restaurant in Mountain Valley Lodge with its huge deck overlooking the river. Why not enjoy a snack or a meal washed down with some local Hawke's Bay wine? Our accommodation ranges from detached, self contained two-bedroomed cottages, through cosy chalets to backpacker lodge rooms. If none of these appeal, we have 20 powered sites and one of the regions most scenic campsites right next to the river.
As a rural retreat, Mountain Valley offers a real opportunity to reconnect with the natural world. We are surrounded by the legendary mountains of the Kawekas. The river is classified as one of only two remaining 'wild and scenic' watercourses on the north island, and is a mecca for our river pursuits, including heritage and white water rafting, wilderness kayak adventures, and some of the best trout fishing in the world. We also take great pride in offering some of the finest wilderness horse treks in the region. And if you would like to see our magical landscapes from the air, our helicopter scenic flights over the gorges and mountains surrounding the Mohaka river are spectacular.
All of our guides are local people who like nothing more than to involve you fully in all of our activites, whilst relating stories of the history and legends of this remarkable region, and introducing you to its flora and fauna.
Easy access from SH5 and a great destination for day or overnight trips en route to or from Napier (50kms) or Taupo (80kms).
