The River Retreat is situated on the outskirts of Inglewood, just a five-minute drive from specialty shops, restaurants, cafes, and the local supermarket for your basic supplies. The charming rural town of Inglewood is nestled amidst the almost fluorescent greenness of the Taranaki pastureland, just below the forested fringe of Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki. The visitors center is a 10-minute drive away for those keen trampers, and it's only a 15-minute drive to New Plymouth.
Bookings that exceed 10 days will incur an extra mid-term cleaning and linen fee at cost to the guest every seven days. For those guests looking for total relaxation and rejuvenation or families wanting to get their children completely away from their devices, this is for you. Back to basics and oh so refreshing.
