Me Rongo - Welcome to Rekohu / Wharekauri / Chatham Islands

Chatham Hideaway is accommodation situated in picturesque Kāingaroa, a small fishing village on the north-eastern tip of the remote Chatham Islands, 800km east of New Zealand.

A family run business for over 10 years, Chatham Hideaway is operated by locals offering a true experience of the friendly, accommodating hospitality the Chatham Islands is renowned for.

Whether you are looking for adventure, or complete relaxation away from the rest of the world, your holiday with us can be as action-packed or as restful as you choose.

Lap up some snorkelling, diving, fishing or swimming off the shore, reel in a blue cod, moki or hapuka on a fishing boat, go wild pig hunting with one of the locals, visit Point Munning seal colony or the site of the Sunderland flying boat restoration project, walk one of our golden beaches or beautiful bush tracks, or visit some of the island's many historical sites.

If you are looking for a unique way to spend your holiday, then Chatham Hideaway is the place for you!

"A holiday in the Chatham Islands. Thought of it? Well, you definitely should! If you enjoy the pleasure of fishing or hunting (no rabbits, but plenty of pigs), don't leave it any longer. The place to stay is Chatham Hideaway ... such a fabulous place, I've been back four times." Bryce - Leeston, NZ
