Noel and Liz Edmonds

“Liz and I had always harboured the ambition of creating a Positivity Haven-a place where like-minded people could come together, express opinions, offer guidance and share life experiences. Our search for the perfect location eventually brought us to New Zealand and the paradise of the Motueka Valley, where we’ve created our River Haven. At times, it’s been challenging, but the success of River Haven in a tough economic and political climate is undeniable. We are profoundly grateful to all who’ve helped us realise our dream, and we look forward to continuing to build our community”.

Tony & Holly Robson-Burrell – Food & Beverage Team

Tony’s culinary passion is heartfelt, crafted in the rigorous kitchens of London during the early ’80s. His journey took him to New York before leading him back to become the head chef at some of England’s premier country house hotels. Recognised with numerous awards, Tony then opened his own restaurant alongside Holly, and they ran two charming country pubs together. Tony continues to enchant diners while Holly ensures every guest’s experience at the front of the house is exceptional.

Now, they’re embracing their greatest adventure yet at River Haven.
