The Hideaway is a clean, thoughtfully prepared, rustic yet modern Kiwi bush retreat. The whole place has a lovely woodsy smell (even the outside toilet!) and we couldn’t believe how much hot water we had access to and the speed of the wifi - not to mention the view on offer!
The bike/driveway path from the Hideaway to Matapouri is a nice and easy walk (took us app. one hour at a moderate pace with full packs) and we really appreciated not having to drive in and out of Waiotoi to access the beach.
Gunter was quick to respond to queries and great at communicating with us throughout our stay to ensure we were having the best experience. This is the kind of place you visit time and time again to unwind, relax and recharge in complete peace!
(Definitely don’t rely on map apps once you hit the start of the private driveway: the instructions -and especially the photos- provided by Gunter are very clear and easy to follow.)
