Te Anau Hilltop Hideaway - Luxury retreat perched above Fiordland

This private luxury retreat offers you a front-row seat to New Zealand’s most spectacular scenery. Enjoy uninterrupted panoramic views of Lake Te Anau and the Fiordland mountains from your own private peaceful setting.


Ideally located just minutes from Te Anau, providing easy access to Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, and unforgettable Fiordland experiences.

Guest access
The retreat is located on our family property but has been thoughtfully positioned to provide guests with complete privacy while enjoying the spectacular views.

The retreat and its amenities are entirely yours for the duration of your stay.

The Experience

Hilltop Hideaway has been thoughtfully designed to immerse you in its surroundings—where every room enjoys breathtaking views.

Signature Features
- Panoramic lake and mountain views
- Undercover outdoor hot tub with expansive lake and mountain views, complete with a louvre roof for starlit evenings.
- Indoor fireplace for intimate evenings

This is a place for quiet mornings, golden sunsets, and firelit nights. We invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and settle into the rhythm of Fiordland. For the most memorable arrival, we recommend reaching the property before sunset.

Hot Tub Ritual
Positioned for privacy and views, the hot tub is best enjoyed:

- At sunset, as the light softens over Lake Te Anau
- Under the stars, with complete stillness
- Listening to the Fiordland rain, while undercover.


Fireplace Evenings
As temperatures drop, the fireplace becomes the heart of the home.

- Enjoy with the flick of button year round.
- Perfect for slow evenings with wine and conversation

Draw the curtains wide and watch Fiordland’s shifting moods from the warmth inside.
