Rivers Edge - Ruru Tent
Martinborough
River's Edge Retreat is unique accommodation set in the Ruakokoputuna Valley, just out of Wairarapa wine village, Martinborough.
River's Edge has two separate luxury tents on the property both positioned in different private spots on the edge of a quiet, tree-lined river that runs through the farm. This listing is for Ruru Tent, the original tent at River's Edge Retreat.
The front of the tent has a large glass frontage, offering a beautiful riverside view.
With touches of recycled timber, luxurious textiles and an old chandelier, the tent interior has a rustic chic glamping vibe. A king-sized bed, deer hides, large vintage leather sofa and a wood-burning stove come together to create a warm, comfortable, relaxing space - summer or winter.
The tent has an ensuite bathroom with piping hot water and flushing toilet. A second doorway leads to a small but functional kitchenette.
River's Edge is the best kind of luxury accommodation. It's the ideal place for those looking to enjoy a weekend escape, celebrate an anniversary, or relax with a post-wedding wind-down. Breathe the country air and immerse yourself in nature. Soak in the outdoor bath overlooking the river and countryside. Enjoy the pleasure of a glass of good Martinborough Pinot while dining al fresco under the stars. Relax in your plush, comfortable king-size bed and listen to the sound of the river lull you to sleep...Bliss.
It's truly amazing, such a great get away with lovely hosts. Stars for miles, birds and insects, river flowing, outside bath. Super relaxing. Escaping the busy life of citys/towns, technology, screens. Highly recommended!

Don’t hesitate to book! It’s such a beautiful spot to just switch off from the rest of the world. It’s also not far from the wineries!!

I was after a night away as a surprise wedding anniversary treat for my husband and it was perfect - quiet, private and relaxing. We loved it.

We absolutely loved our staty at Rivers Edge, everything was perfect, the location, the way the tent was decorated, the outdoor bath and having our own private river swimming spot. Even just spending one night there we came away feeling relaxed and very chilled. Totally recommend.
