Hi there! I'm Mark Daniels, the proud owner and operator of the General Adventure Company. Alongside my partner Mila, who hosts Lux BnB Escape to Riverslea, we provide a luxury accommodation experience in Wanaka designed for relaxation and adventure. This venture has been a goal of mine for as long as I can remember. I envisioned creating a safe and enjoyable space where people of all skill levels could appreciate the beauty of Central Otago, right here in Wanaka. But it wasn't just about adventure; it was about supporting local businesses and minimizing our impact on the environment by championing New Zealand-made products.

Although I was born and raised in New Zealand, I spent the majority of my adult life abroad, navigating the hustle and bustle of big city life in a corporate setting. It was only upon my return to New Zealand that I truly appreciated the magnificence of the South Island once more. My heart has always belonged to the mountains; there's something about their timeless presence that is both grounding and inspiring. Being able to turn my passion for mountain adventures into a business has been incredibly rewarding.

Mila, originally from Germany, shares my love for this region. We moved to Wanaka from Singapore after she fell in love with the area's stunning landscapes and lifestyle. As the welcoming host of our BnB, she ensures every guest has a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Her eye for detail and genuine care for our guests create an atmosphere where people feel at ease and well looked after.

Our Lux BnB Escape to Riverslea offers everything you need for a memorable stay: underfloor heating, an outdoor hot bath, a private deck, and an Ecossa fully electric adjustable bed for ultimate comfort. For those looking to explore, we also provide e-bike rentals complete with helmets, regional maps, first aid kits, and insider tips on the best routes and local attractions. These features make our BnB perfect for guests seeking both luxury and the chance to immerse themselves in Wanaka’s outdoor adventures.

Together, we’ve built a retreat that reflects our values: comfort, simplicity, and a connection to Wanaka’s natural beauty. Whether you’re looking to relax in a serene setting or embark on an e-bike journey through Central Otago, we provide a space that feels like home while being uniquely tied to this incredible part of the world.

If you’re planning a trip to Central Otago or seeking a base for your Wanaka adventures, we’d love to host you. Our goal is to provide a space where you can truly enjoy what this region has to offer at your own pace. Experience the perfect blend of luxury and adventure with Lux BnB Escape to Riverslea and the General Adventure Company. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing our little corner of Wanaka with you.
