About this property

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

Escape to a cabin thoughtfully designed and engineered to embrace its breathtaking surroundings. Perched on an elevated site beneath the majestic Mount Taranaki ranges, you’ll be treated to sweeping, uninterrupted views across North Taranaki.
Set across 10 acres of natural beauty, the property features a river running its full length—complete with private bush walk access inviting you to explore, unwind, and reconnect with nature.
Sink into the outdoor hot tub as the soothing sounds of flowing rapids and native birdlife surround you. Start your mornings with coffee on the sun-drenched deck, where the early light sets the tone for a truly unforgettable stay. This is more than just a getaway—it’s pure indulgence by design.
With a carefully curated layout, premium fit-out, and the bush right on your doorstep, relaxation comes effortlessly within minutes of arrival. Leave the hustle of everyday life behind and enjoy uninterrupted time together in a setting that feels worlds away.
Whether you bring a good book to savour the stillness or your tramping boots to explore every corner of the property, this retreat offers something special for everyone.
And while it feels wonderfully remote, you’re just 15 minutes from town and only 15 minutes from the renowned Pukeiti Gardens—your gateway to the incredible network of walking tracks on Mount Taranaki.

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.
