Experience an unforgettable view and solitude from Kūkupa Matairangi (lookout of the native pigeon).
Powered by the sun, our purpose-built glamping retreat high on the hills overlooking Akaroa harbour, makes the most of the stunning 360-degree views.
Sink deep into our surreal outdoor hot tub overlooking the ever-changing sky, sea, and forest set in the backdrop of an extinct volcanic crater.
Wander through lavender fields and regenerate native forests. Slow down, relax, and breathe deeply…
Our retreat has plenty of books. Facilities include an outdoor hot tub, Wifi, a projector to cast movies, a full shower, cooking facilities (gas cooker/microwave), flush toilet, fire pit (fire restrictions may apply), outdoor furniture, and Weber BBQ. Most people find the ever-changing view is enough....

Malcolm and Lyn own Akaroa Lavender and work with a team of people who support them throughout the year. Their philosophy is to maximise the return from this property by working within the natural boundaries of the property's framework. Having owned the property for over 35 years, they have planted over 30,000 plants - transforming the land from open grassy paddocks to a showcase of regeneration. Their lavender is organically grown with the management of the remainder of the property largely following organic principles.
Guests soak in some of the best views of Akaroa Harbour, walk amongst the regenerating forest, hear songbirds, and enjoy the vivid colors of the farm.
Choose to stay in a range of exclusive accommodations, experience lavender fields, Arataki (guided) walks, kaitiakitanga (conservation) and outstanding manaakitanga (hospitality).
It is a place to slow down, relax, and breathe deeply....
