Noel Edmonds Launches Hospitality Venture Documentary New Zealand

Noel Edmonds, after 50 years in television, relocated to New Zealand in 2018 with his wife Liz to start a hospitality business called River Haven in the rural village of Ngatimoti. The ITV documentary series "Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure" follows their efforts to run a traditional British pub, restaurant, and coffee cart amidst the challenges of small-town life and the pressures of being outsiders. Edmonds describes his move as a search for a quieter life, contrasting with what he found missing in Britain, and emphasizes that their project is about making a difference rather than personal gain. The series showcases the couple's lifestyle and ambitions on their stunning 800-acre estate in the Moteuka Valley, highlighting the unique and sometimes bizarre elements of their venture. River Haven includes attractions like The Bugger Inn pub, and the show airs on ITV1 and ITVX starting June 20, 2025. This portrayal offers a mix of entertainment and insight into Edmonds' new chapter far from his UK television career.
