Welcome

A destination unlike any other.

Set in the quiet, rolling countryside of North Taranaki, Hillsborough Hideaway is a rare place where you can stay, play and explore all in one setting. Spend the night in private, self-contained luxury, then step out to a day of discovery just beyond your door.

Wander New Zealand's largest private collection of Holden cars and memorabilia, take on our Bathurst-inspired mini putt, feel the rush of the luge, and pause for coffee and treats at the cafe. However you spend your time, it's all here, together.

Adjacent to the main house and fully self-contained, the apartment is yours alone. You and your friends or family are our only guests in this quiet, secluded setting.

With two king-size bedrooms, a queen pull-out sofa bed and room for up to six, it's the perfect base for exploring Mt Egmont/Taranaki or a concert at the Bowl of Brooklands.

An absolutely unique stay. The apartment was immaculate and private, and the kids couldn’t get enough of the luge and mini putt. We’ll be back.
