About this property

THE RIVER RETREAT OFF THE GRID

The River Retreat - Off the Grid,will provide you with a unique place to stay that delivers an authentic kiwi experience and a chance to disconnect from life pressures and enjoy the beauty of your natural surroundings.

Nestled among a deer farm and elevated over looking the river is this charming eco friendly holiday accommodation, that is not for the faint hearted and guests are encouraged to switch off completely. Experience a truly unique property with solar power operating only, so you are fully off the grid, charming cabins and a wonderful sense of isolation.

The main cabin consists of basic cooking facilities, with gas cook top and small gas operated fridge for your basic supplies. A BBQ is also provided. A spacious combined dining and living area for guests to hang out which opens to the outdoors through large barn doors to maximise the rural environment. Downstairs accommodates four guests with a comfortable queen bed and two single beds.

Meander down the various paths where you will discover two additional charming cabins each with a double bed and a third cabin providing a toilet and gas shower facility. Torches are provided to make your way to the toilet cabin at night and umbrellas provided for when the weather isn't being kind. For those guests looking for total relaxation and rejuvenation or those families wanting to get their children completely away from their devices, this is for you. Back to basics and oh so refreshing.

Situated on the outskirts of Inglewood a five minute drive from specialty shops, restaurants, cafes and the local supermarket to collect your basic supplies. The charming rural town of Inglewood nestles amidst the almost fluorescent greenness of the Taranaki pastureland, just below the forested fringe of Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki (formerly known as Egmont National Park) and Visitors centre a 10-minute drive away for those keen trampers. Only a 15-minute drive to New Plymouth.

Please note the cleaning fee: All linen & towels are provided by a commercial linen company and are professionally laundered. Properties have been cleaned prior to guests arrival to meet the Ministry of Health commercial cleaning standards. A part end of stay cleaning service is included. This covers the cleaning of bathrooms, mopping and rubbish removal.

Awesome place to retreat
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabins are quiet with beautiful views. Live close to animals. If there is the power supply for recharging electronic devices, it would be perfect, but it is still an excellent place for holidays.
