We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Morpeth over the long weekend. The house was gorgeous, comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable stay. The hosts were incredibly thoughtful, and the little gifts and personal touches made us feel so welcome and special. It’s clear a lot of love and care has gone into creating such a beautiful space. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Morpeth. Thank you for your hospitality!

Perfect place to sit back unwind and just enjoy the fire and a good book. Quiet location but only steps to the main strip where we found a plethora of food and wine options.

Absolute perfection ! The perfect getaway, The River Haus did not disappoint. The home was so warm and inviting, with beautiful furnishings and decor, it felt like home. Every little detail was taken care of - bath salts, a soak in the tub was divine ! Complimentary sparkling water in the fridge as well as a complimentary bottle of Boydells wine which was delicious. The bedrooms all had beautiful bed linen and the beds were so comfortable. Communication with the host was like talking to a friend, from checking in on us and seeing if we were settled in and if we needed anything to seeing how our stay was when we were leaving. Not to mention it’s pet friendly and our Kelpies loved the stay as well much as we did ! Highly recommended and absolutely staying again in the near future ! The River Haus is a dream !

Lovely cottage

Enjoyed a comfortable and relaxing stay in this beautifully decorated cottage with a luxury feel. There was a pretty fenced garden for our dog, and it was only a short stroll to shopping and restaurants. The hosts' thoughtful touches were appreciated, and we particularly loved the booklets on Morpeth's history.

An excellent place to stay

We loved our stay at the River Haus - a beautifully crafted new property moments away from the heart of Morpeth. It was clean, modern, quiet and spacious, and the dogs loved the wrap-around garden. The owners have put genuine care and attention into ensuring you have everything you could possibly need and that you feel special. Thanks guys!!

Brilliant house right in the middle of Morpeth. Loved the fireplace and the comfy bed. Great restaurants and we enjoyed the complimentary Boydells wine and chocolates.

From the minute you walk through the front door you are greeted with sheer luxury! High and appliances, beautiful furniture, amazing house, perfect location. hosts Sheridan and Tom have thought of absolutely everything! And the personal touches made it even better! We were greeted with wine and chocolates and had an absolutely amazing stay! This would be my absolute choice if you are staying in the Morpeth, Maitland, and surrounding areas so close to all amenities and not far from the vineyards either. Perfect host, perfect property, perfectly enjoyable stay.

This beautiful cottage in Morpeth is even better than the photos. It has a warm cozy atmosphere. We loved sitting in the sunshine on the balcony. The sunshine also pours into the kitchen and dining area. It’s a pet friendly home and very well fenced. We felt comfortable knowing our dogs could not go exploring the town without us. When you do want to venture out, it’s a very short stroll to the main street. It’s got excellent aircon, was scrupulously clean and the beds were comfortable. The host was a very good communicator and they organised fresh milk and a bottle of wine for our arrival. We absolutely loved our stay.

What a beautiful well kept cottage with everything we needed and more.

The location is fabulous, only metres from the shops and galleries. The cottage itself has everything we could possibly need and is decorated and furnished beautifully. Sheridan was so helpful during the booking period. Highly Recommend!
