    Beautifully designed and located private cottage for a couple tucked into lovely rainforest in a valley at the bottom of farmland. Buying food or eating out requires a bit of a drive and it is good to check in and unload in daylight so you know...

    Rooms are fantastic and very modern, the bush around the cabin made us feel like we were in a retreat! It is a great location only minuets drive to the town centre and amazing beaches.

Sara and Hamish
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.
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. Magical Mangawhai is now our home along with our daughter Lily. We live on the property a few minutes walk up the hill, if you require any information we are happy to help.
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
