River Song Cabin Luxury Studio Nature Escape
Romantic riverside cabin for couples or small families
Sleeps up to 5 | 35m² studio-style cabin
River Song is our beautifully designed riverside studio cabin, with a wonderful sense of space. Every corner has been considered, making it feel far larger than its 35 m² footprint.
Tucked beside the Mangaotaki River on our family farm, it’s a place to slow down and enjoy being exactly where you are.
Inside, there’s a handmade king four-poster bed, a double bed in a separate nook with its own window, a full kitchen and a double indoor shower. A single sofa daybed provides a third bed. We make it up for a fifth guest; groups of four who prefer separate beds can ask us to leave linen to make it up themselves.
Outside, soak together in the double outdoor bath, swim in your private river pool, kayak, picnic beside the river or simply sit and watch the water go by.
You’re surrounded by a real working sheep and beef farm, limestone cliffs and beautiful Waitomo countryside. There’s plenty to explore nearby, although many of our guests find they’re quite happy staying put.
Stay 4+ nights and we’ll take you on a complimentary farm tour.*
Stay 7+ nights between February and mid-December and use code STAYAWHILE for 5% off.*

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
