River Deep Mountain High Retreat. For couples to share quality time relaxing.

10/10 Excellent
"The cabin is a perfect hideaway for singles or couples wanting some peace and quiet. The view from the deck is stunning, taking in native bush and birds fluttering close by. You can hear the gurgle of the river below.The cabin itself is beautifully presented, warm and cosy. The bed is comfy and the linen is luxurious. The bathroom is absolutely beautiful. It is worth noting that the cooking facilities are limited to a Weber BBQ, and air fryer and a microwave, so if you are planning to cook your own meals make sure they can be prepared using these appliances. There are so many lovely cafes, pubs and restaurants within a 30 minute drive though, that we mostly ate out.We had a bit of trouble getting the bath hot enough, but once we got it sorted it was amazing and a highlight of the accommodation! We also enjoyed the little bush walk down to the river. John is an extremely accommodating host; if there is anything you need he is there in a jiffy to help out. River Deep is a beautiful place to stay if you are just wanting some time out, and we will certainly be back for another stay soon."

"Nice spacious unit with everything you need. The TV was small and just free to air stations but I believe they are in the middle of upgrading TVs to all room. The motel apparently has spectacular views to Mt Taranaki but unfortunately there was too much fog and cloud during my visit to see it. Would definitely stay again if visiting Hawera"

"We had a wonderful stay at Sven’s farmhouse! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The instructions for check-in were very clear, and everything was well organized.The house was perfect for our group, and we really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. Special mention to “Crackers” the friendly cat, who made our stay even more fun Sven was a great host—very responsive and helpful throughout.
