The River Retreat - Off the Grid 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 (formerly known as Egmont National Park). The Visitors Centre is a 10-minute drive away for those keen trampers, and it is only a 15-minute drive to New Plymouth.
