About this property

River Song Cabin Luxury Studio Nature Escape

  • Romantic riverside escape for couples or small families

    Sleeps 4 | 35m² studio-style cabin

    Tucked beside the peaceful Mangaotaki Stream, River Song is a handcrafted retreat designed for comfort, connection, and slowing down.

    A four-poster king bed, cosy sleeping nook, double indoor shower, and outdoor bath set the tone. Outside, the river becomes part of your stay — swim, swing, kayak, or simply sit and watch it flow.

    Many guests arrive with plans… there’s so much to explore from here — but often end up staying put.

    4+ night stays include a complimentary farm tour. *

    Use code STAYAWHILE for 10% off stays of 7 nights or more. *

    *Excludes Christmas/New Year periods.

Such a wonderful adventure

This is a special, one of a kind place. Nestled among a sheep farm and a river. Turkeys come by in the morning. Cows are watching all day. You feel complete privacy and have a stellar view to the beautiful surroundings as 2 walls are completely windows. Think of it as a magical camping experience with a luxury bed and shower. Every little special touch just adds to the charm. There is no dishwasher or oven, hence the camping feel. Plan to barbecue and make simple one pot meals and you will be in total heaven. My husband even caught trout down by the bridge
