Hideaway - A Couples Retreat

Beautiful location, felt very private and secluded, surrounded by bush so heard plenty of birdlife. Only a couple of minutes drive from town, so very handy.

Shower pressure not good. Couldn't find the address on maps, and instructions didn't come through as advised, so took an educated guess, and luckily found the right place!

Great get away

Cosy cottage with a log burner and comfortable beds and chairs. Hidden away from the other cottages on site with a lovely private deck. Very peaceful.

The laundry room had no detergent, which has been provided at every other place we stayed. But that was a minor disadvantage for such a lovely cottage.

Nicely decorated, spacious, comfortable, clean, well equipped, quiet location

The cottage was so quiet and secluded, surrounded by trees and flowers with many birds. Everything we needed was here. Our host Gina was super helpful and easy to contact.

It’s a minor detail but we thought there would be a small milk for tea and coffee. Easy to fix of course.

We enjoyed the quiet, peaceful surroundings. It felt very private even though there were other adjacent cottages. We loved that it was only a 3 minute drive to Akaroa. The cottage was very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Lovely bird song and sightings added to the serene atmosphere. We loved being able to make a fire each evening as it was a bit nippy outside. Made for a very inviting and cozy atmosphere.

Stronger water pressure in the shower ( but we assume that's due to its off the beaten track location and overall issues with plumbing in places like this. Not that big a deal to us as we would stay there again). It has a well stocked kitchen with appliances, etc. Would have been nice to have a colander to stain pasta.

Great homey place, so quiet and cosy. Everything you need
