| Hideaway Cottage is both very private and exceptionally
comfortable and well appointed. Hosts Don and Robyn Johnson offer
a free airport pick-up and spoil guests with a complimentary bottle
of wine or non alcoholic drink each night to be enjoyed beside the
solar-heated pool, or as the season dictates, tucked up in front of
a roaring log fire or soaking in the outdoor spa pool.
A generous breakfast, often featuring the produce from the property's extensive
avocado orchard, is delivered to your doorstep, fuel for a day of sightseeing,
fishing, golfing, tramping or simply savouring the hideaway atmosphere.
A natural setting that is hard to envisage close to town, tramping (hiking
and rambling), golf courses, beaches, sea or trout fishing and Taranaki's
lovely mountain.
From your lazyboy chair, soak in the views of lawns, mature gardens across
a small valley to New Zealand native forest.
If you are lucky you will see at close range native pigeon or hear the morepork
at night. Guests will be able to wander in our gardens through our avocado
orchard, play petanque or have a swim in the solar heated pool when in season.
Imagine in the cooler evenings sitting by the free standing log fire and
sipping a glass of wine or sparkling grape juice.
Decor is modern with luxury carpet underfoot, microwave, television DVD player
(movies available), CD player and lots more. Warm cosy robes to wear to the
outside spa pool and have your generous breakfast delivered to your cottage.
We have only one room - our emphasis is on your privacy and peacefulness,
a place to get away and relax.
