Positively Together
Noel and Liz Edmonds migrated to New Zealand in 2019 and moved to Ngatimoti in 2022. So began an extraordinary adventure.
Their mission is to make a positive contribution to community life, and in just 2 years, their vision has become a vibrant reality for the simple reason Noel and Liz always honour the traditional values of mutual respect and friendship blended with a deep appreciation of the natural environment.
Welcome
Enjoy an unmatched family adventure at River Haven, where you can stroll through our vineyards, play disc golf or boules, admire our classic car display, visit our Gratitude Garden, or simply relax and soak up the atmosphere.
Whether grabbing a coffee, cake or toasted sandwich at our Café Cart by the Motueka River, savouring a hearty pub meal with a pint at the Bugger Inn Pub, or a light lunch in our restaurant, every moment at River Haven is infused with positivity.
The essence of a Kiwi Summer - excellent food, great drink and warm friendship

Successful Failure
Wow, what an incredible weekend we’ve had at River Haven. We set ourselves a target of harvesting the entire vineyard in a single day, but we failed and thankfully didn’t fail-Wot??
Another successful Summer season at River Haven!
From the sunny highs to the rainy lows (shout-out to our unpredictable weather!), and even a film crew capturing some classic moments, it’s been a wild and wonderful 6 months!
Water Update!
Thank you to all who have worked hard to get our venue open as soon as possible. We now have an improved borehole and a much bigger pump.
