Pet-friendly
At the heart of the historic inland river port town of Morpeth, you'll find the River Haus. Curated with old and new treasures, this pretty three-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.

We are pet friendly on request ($100 pet fee applies; $150 for two dogs).

Stroll to Morpeth's heritage-listed main street, picnic on the river bank, and dine at the lauded Boydell's Cellar Door and Restaurant (40m from the back gate). A luxe sojourn in the lower Hunter awaits.

This charming three 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. Both (identical) guest rooms offer classic queen-size iron beds, AH Beard plush mattresses, and fine linen. A third room offers a dedicated workspace with a desk and office chair plus a single, nickel cast iron bed (extra cost for single bed).

In the stylish bathroom with herringbone tile floors enjoy Grown Alchemist amenities. A cute laundry offers a washing machine and a second toilet.

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 soundbar, wifi, ducted heating and cooling, blackout blinds (including a nifty automatic blind for the back doors), Bosch dishwasher, and Bosch gas oven.
