Life at the Lodge
River Valley is isolated in some senses of the word. We are 30 minutes drive from the nearest town, and about 2 hours from the nearest city. If applying for a position with us, please bear in mind that you will not be living close to your present family and friends – you will have to make new ones!
The staff at River Valley are a fun lot and will welcome you into their circle. These are the same people you will most likely live amongst, work with, and play with.
It is not a requirement, but due to our remote location it is highly recommended that you have a driving license and a car.
Staff accommodation is available, either on or off site.
Amongst other great benefits, staff get discounted food and drinks at the lodge and can hop onto any of our trips if space allows.

“When our son, Andy went to New Zealand he spent about half of his year there working at River Valley. Even 5 years later he continues to rave about the place and the people – and therefore it had to be on our route.”
