    We loved the privacy. It was peaceful and quiet I would certainly rebook if at Akaroa again Lovely little deck to sit outside and see native shrubs and roses

    Quiet, isolated, quaint, comfortable. Great to have breakfast on the porch on a sunny morning overlooking the garden while serenaded by many birds.

    The location was perfect and stunning. We enjoyed the birdsong and gardens so much. It was fairly private, and we felt tucked up into the hillside. Walking in, the place looks very stylish and well-appointed. I loved being so close to Children's...

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.
