*Now pet friendly (pets accepted on request).
Curated with old and new treasures, this pretty two bedroom cottage is set behind a white picket fence a stone's throw from the mighty Hunter River and overlooking the historic St James Anglican Church.
Stroll to Morpeth's heritage-listed main street, picnic on the river bank and dine at the lauded Boydell's Cellar Door and Restaurant (50m from the back gate). A luxe sojourn in the lower Hunter awaits.
This charming two bedroom cottage is the creation of travel writer Sheriden Rhodes and husband (self taught builder, painter, tiler and jack of all trades) Tom Szecsodi.
Take a soak in the freestanding bath, gather round the wood fire in cooler weather with a glass of wine in hand or enjoy a G&T on the front verandah at sunset. We're a short five minute drive from the new Maitland Hospital that opened in January 2022 in nearby Metford.
Both (identical) guest rooms offer classic queen size iron beds, AH Beard plush mattresses and fine linen. A third room offers a dedicated work space with desk, office chair and fast wifi. A cute laundry with separate toilet and washing machine is available for those on the road and longer stays.
In the stylish bathroom with herringbone tile floors enjoy Grown Alchemist amenities.
The River Haus features gorgeous old treasures including ship's rope, vintage kitchen scales, Bentwood chair, steamship trunk coffee table and weather beaten boat oars. New treasures include Smart TV, JBL sound bar, wifi, ducted heating and cooling, blackout blinds (including a nifty automatic blind for the back doors), Nectre woodfire, Bosch dishwasher and Bosch gas oven.
Basic pantry items include salt and pepper, olive oil and sugar. Each booking receives a complimentary bottle of Boydell's Wine, milk of choice and local treats.
We are more than happy to accommodate an earlier or later check-in subject to availability (no other guest checking in or checking out that day). Please ask us about this.
We accept trained, well behaved pets on request. Please message us to discuss.
