AS FEATURED: Sydney Morning Herald & The Age Traveller, HunterHunter, H&G.

At the heart of the historic river port of Morpeth lies the River Haus. Curated with old and new treasures, this pretty two bedroom cottage (plus office) is set behind a white picket fence a stone's throw from the Hunter River and overlooking the historic St James Anglican Church.

Stroll to Morpeth's heritage-listed main street, dine at lauded Boydell's Cellar Door and Restaurant. A luxe sojourn in the Hunter awaits.

The space
This charming two bedroom (plus office) 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. We're a short five minute drive from the new Maitland Hospital that opened January 19 in nearby Metford.

Both (identical) guest rooms offer classic queen size iron beds, AH Beard plush mattresses and fine linen. A third room offers a dedicated office with desk, office chair and fast wifi. A cute laundry with separate toilet and washing machine is available for those on the road and longer stays.

In the stylish bathroom with herringbone tile floors enjoy Grown Alchemist amenities.

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

I'm a travel writer from Newcastle NSW. I love vintage finds, clean cotton sheets, long ambles and good coffee.
