‘On The River House’ and 'On The River Suite' Accommodations are both nestled on the banks of the Waikato River with stunning panoramic views from the master bedroom and lounge looking across the river to The (now closed) Narrows Golf Course. This private riverside accommodation is the perfect retreat. This is a dual accommodation and both house and suite are connected; however they are both very private and separate, You can find eighty square metres of luxury accommodation in our Suite which means there is plenty of room to relax and spread out in total comfort. The house offers 180 square metres and is perfect for a family holiday, wedding accommodation or work related trips. We have endeavoured to provide you with everything you could possibly need whilst away from home. If you want to visit Hamilton, Cambridge or anywhere in the Greater Waikato then we are the perfect location for your stay. Just a few minutes from the Hamilton Airport and Mystery Creek. Close to SHW 1 and 3, giving you easy access to all Central North Island attractions.
We love sitting at the river side on a sunny day. 8 minutes finds us strolling through beautiful Hamilton Gardens leading to long river side walks. Have lunch at The Punnet cafe - 3 minutes around the corner by car. We love the Te Awa River - the great NZ River Ride as it is an amazing walk or ride to explore the Waikato.
Our location is perfect - central to many North Island attractions -for example: 2-5 mins from an excellent golf courses 3 mins from Tamahere Park 4 mins from Mystery Creek and internationally recognised annual National Fieldays 5 mins from Hamilton Airport 5 minutes from Te Awa - The Great NZ River Ride 7 minutes from the award winning Hamilton Gardens. 10 mins from Hamilton City - shop, cafes, restaurants and river walks 15 minutes from quaint Cambridge - St Peters private College, Avanti Velodrome and top Horse Stud farms. 25 mins from Te Aroha Hot Spa Baths 35 minutes from Hobbiton - setting for LOTR films 20 minutes from Maungatautari Reserve 50 Minutes from Waitomo Caves 65 minutes from Rotorua - world famous Thermal and Cultural City 70 minutes from Tauranga - white sand beaches and entertainment 90 mins from beautiful Lake Taupo 120 mins from central mountains and skiing
