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!

The cabin is heated and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace. Change of bedsheets is available on request.

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
