River Song Cabin Luxury Studio Nature Escape

Romantic riverside escape for couples or small families


Sleeps up to 5 | 35m² studio-style cabin



Tucked into a bend of the peaceful Mangaotaki Stream, River Song Cabin is a beautifully crafted 35m² retreat ideal for couples or small families seeking seclusion, comfort, and connection. Surrounded by rolling hills and dramatic limestone cliffs, it’s the ultimate escape — any time of year, in any weather.



Inside, you’ll find a luxurious four-poster king bed, a cozy built-in sleeping nook with high ceiling and window (sleeps up to three extras in a double and single beds), and a spacious double indoor shower. Outside, soak in the double outdoor bath, swing from the tree swing, or play in the river with 2 kayaks and a sea biscuit.



Every inch of this cabin has been personally designed by us with our guests’ ultimate holidays in mind — a place where comfort, charm and nature come together. We’ve even created a 10-day curated adventure guide filled with the best things to see and do from here — most of which we’ve experienced ourselves and love to share.



Many guests arrive with big plans, but choose to stay put. It’s that kind of place — peaceful, magical, and hard to leave.



 We want to make your holiday easy!



Our guests love the peace, tranquillity and attention to detail; There is a reason why Peter Jackson filmed The Hobbit here. It is truly magical!
