Company info

We love traveling and spent many years working together in the yachting industry. Hamish is originally from the UK and I grew up in Kapiti.

Property info

The Hideout is centrally located between the beach's of Mangawhai heads and Te Arai. The quiet valley backs onto 100 acres of native bush. Our ethos was to design an ecologically conscience tourist accommodation. With an emphasis on increasing bird life through native planting and pest control. Your own private "Hideout" with all the country comforts. Unwind with a book, walk the farm to visit the sheep, or take a short walk to a nearby stream and falls.

Neighborhood info

Come and enjoy the thriving Mangawhai markets and explore all the region has to offer, from world class surf beach's to high end golf course's. Perhaps book a fishing charter or simple enjoy the lovely walking tracks and wine tasting at the vineyards. The vibrant community has developed a fantastic museum and skate park and organize's many weekend activities that visitors are welcome to participate in including the Art trail, garden ramble and walking weekend. Also to enjoy: Live music at the Tavern Lovely restaurants and cafe's Chocolate factory and shop
