    Great location surrounded by wilderness. The birds were amazing. The location was so quiet and secluded and peaceful. A truly beautiful retreat.

    Location was perfect - secluded in the bush but only a (lovely) 15min walk into town, and at the head of some great walking trails.

    Beautiful location, good nature walk nearby and a path that leads to town

We are excited to be the proud new owners of Hideaway - A Couples Retreat. We have been working hard to totally renovate this unique holiday home set amongst native bush. It is a very private, quiet location with the welcoming sound of bird life all around. We have upgraded the kitchen, made the living/bedroom space bigger, as well as putting in a brand new bathroom. The deck has been extended to allow for better outdoor entertaining. You will find all the home comforts you require for a relaxing stay. This includes new furniture, bed linens including luxury mattress toppers and duvet covers with plush bedspreads, Smart TV with DVD player and a small selection of DVD's on hand as well as Sky TV, new pots and pans, cutlery, crockery and outdoor furniture. As a host, I hope you will have a wonderful experience staying at our lovely home. Your feedback once you have stayed would be very welcoming.
I am excited to be part of giving guests a wonderful experience when staying at our holiday home. We do not live on site, but I have a lovely Housekeeper, Tracey who lives locally and will be there on hand should you need her for anything essential.
Head into town, just a few minutes drive down the road, where you can explore the local shops and cafes. Or take a scenic cruise around Akaroa Harbour, host to amazing sea mammals and bird life, including the worlds smallest and rarest dolphins, the Hector's dolphin, New Zealand fur seals and White-flippered penguins. Everything you need for a real Akaroa escape awaits at Hideaway Studio Cottage - A Couple's Retreat.
