Five Rivers Retreat B&B, Lumsden

A 700-acre working farm in the Five Rivers District in the heart of Northern Southland that runs sheep, deer and cattle.

Your hosts are Paula and Roger Thompson along with their daughter Ruby. In their free time, Roger enjoys fishing – especially fly fishing – and is sure to point you to good fishing. Paula loves cooking, so you’ll get to enjoy some good and tasty food! Ruby also has a host of animals to show you, two pet sheep her Cat Cleo along with the working dogs!
