Welcome to
OUR RIVER HAVEN VENTURE
Incepto ne desistam –
“May I not shrink from my purpose”
We migrated to New Zealand in 2019, moved to Ngatimoti in 2022 and so began our life changing adventure.
Our mission is to make a positive contribution to community life in the most beautiful Motueka Valley. The River Haven vineyard is now described as the most beautiful in New Zealand.
Our Clubhouse Restaurant serves fine local food, our French style Cafe, Olde World Pub and General Store have become a hub for fun, laughter and local chit chat.
Our vision has swiftly become a vibrant reality for the simple reason we always honour the traditional values of mutual respect and friendship blended with a deep appreciation of our natural environment.
We hope you also savour and enjoy our first ever River Haven vintage.
Love and positivity, Noel & Liz
