Riverview Hot Tub
Just finished Tongariro Alpine Crossing? Cycled 50km on the National Cycle Way? Long Day of Multisport Training? Want to relax with mates just because? Time to sit in the hot tub and soak everything away.
Our Private, Riverview Hot Tub is based at Awastone and set amongst the natives.
Because we heat our water over solar & wood power, bookings for the hot tub are essential!
Womens Retreat
Hanging with your mates - there is nothing better to re-balance and get back to you. Awastone offers an overnight get away with everything sorted so you need to do is have fun.
Not that you need a reason to hang out with your girlfriends, but this is a great reason to make the time. This 2 days gets you all away from it all, gets you out into nature, creates an amazing bonding session and possibly a little bit of soul searching (hopefully finding).

Fishing
The Rangitikei River is internationally famous for both rainbow and brown trout fishing. Awastone is right on the river so it is easy to make an effort to "rip some lips".
We do run private fishing trips by enquiry and is dependant on the time of year, availability & river conditions.
Everyone, of any age, must carry a valid
New Zealand Sports Fishing Licence with them (or be named on a family licence with the primary licence holder present) when fishing for sports fish in New Zealand.
