Arabella Hideaway – Peace, Views & Your Own Private Spa

Escape to Arabella Hideaway, a peaceful and private retreat nestled amongst native New Zealand bush in the beautiful Bay of Islands.

Designed for two adults, this fully self-contained apartment is the perfect place to slow down, relax and enjoy the natural beauty surrounding you. From the comfort of your own private spa pool, take in stunning views across the Bay of Islands towards the historic village of Russell. As the day fades, sit back in the warm water and enjoy the tranquillity of your surroundings.

The apartment is tucked away from the hustle and bustle, offering a wonderful sense of privacy while still being close to everything the Bay of Islands has to offer.

When you're ready to explore, the village and local amenities are just a five-minute drive away, with restaurants, cafés and shops to discover. You can also choose from a fantastic range of activities and tours, including boat trips, island cruises, fishing, dolphin encounters and exploring the many historic and scenic attractions of the region.

After a day of adventure, return to Arabella Hideaway, pour yourself a drink, slip into the spa and watch the changing light across the bay.

Arabella Hideaway is more than somewhere to stay — it's a place to relax, reconnect and enjoy the Bay of Islands at your own pace.

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.
