A sustainable glamping retreat in the Mangōnui countryside

Nestled in the heart of Mangōnui along the banks of a winding river against a backdrop of an olive grove is The River Bothy, a rustic glamping retreat. Serene, picturesque, and private, The River Bothy is the perfect dog-friendly hideaway for those seeking an internet-free break from the world.

The bothy consists of a small, bare-bones dwelling with an attached enclosed deck area; it is fully sustainable - complete with a rainwater tank, solar power and a compost toilet. The sheer simplicity of the accommodation puts you in touch with nature (figuratively and literally) - you can roll up the heavy-duty shades of the enclosure to get a better view of the river and breathe in the fresh air or have a bath outdoors. It's a nature lover's rustic paradise.
