‘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.
