Backriver Retreat is a one bedroom self-contained cabin, inspired by Bali yet nestled in the countryside of the Far North, New Zealand.
This labour of love project began in March 2020, when we moved to Peria from Auckland on the very eve of the first lockdown in New Zealand, brought on by the global Covid-19 pandemic.
Starting with an overgrown back garden and dated 1990’s log cabin, our dream was to create a functional, sustainable and tropical paradise by mid 2021. It took us a little longer than expected, but in October 2022 we launched Backriver Retreat on AirBnb.
We would love you to come and stay! We are only seven minutes from Taipa Beach (that’s the length of two songs on the radio on your drive here). Take a look at our Gallery page for pictures of our accommodation. Feel free to book directly with us by sending us an email request, or you can book through AirBnb too. Just look for Backriver Retreat.
Hope to see you soon!
