About this property

Arabella Hideaway | Private Spa & Bay Views.

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.

It was an excellent stay with friendly hosts who made us feel welcome and then left us to our privacy. The deck spa with sea views ticked all the boxes, along with a number small special touches made for a memorable stay. Thanks Kieth and Vicki

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.
