The stay was incredible! Check in process was so easy, the place was beautiful and hosts were so caring. Spa is so nice to relax in after a day walking in the local trails. Location is close enough for a great walk to the local opua store. Views are insanely beautiful and the room as a whole is so clean and comfortable. Loved my stay here so much and wish I booked more days.

About the host

Hosted by Keith Maynard

Host profile image
Keith is a Kiwi born and bred and Vicki is originally from the UK. We recently moved to the bay of Islands for the lifestyle and beauty of the area. Keith used to holiday in the Bay when he was a youngster and has many happy memories of this special place. We both wake up every morning and are grateful to be living in the piece of paradise we call home.

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet laid back lifestyle and the stunning beauty of the Bay of Islands. We are both history buffs so there is no better place for us to be than the birthplace of New Zealand. We recently bought a small boat so that we can access the islands and blue sea of the bay.

What makes this property unique

Arabella Hideaway is nestled at the head of a valley. we are surrounded by 2,500 Sqm of native bush and are also lucky enough to have a panoramic view of the inner Bay of Islands. We wake to the sound of birdsong. The property faces true north and so we have the sun all day, nin what we call our big sky. It's peaceful here but you are close enough to all the attractions too. You can do as much or as little as you like.
