Kūkupa Matairangi at Akaroa Lavender

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....

After arriving at your secure car park, your luggage will be transported to the hut. Transport is available for those unable to walk steadily uphill across rolling terrain for twenty minutes.

Kūkupa Matairangi sleeps two people in a Queen bed.

Breakfast condiments are provided as is a complementary platter and bottle of local wine on arrival (not available for 1 night bookings).

* There is a service surcharge to reheat the outdoor hot tub. We will turn on the hot tub upon your arrival and you will need to turn it off when you are happy with the temperature. The hot tub may not be available when there is an extreme draught and/or fire ban. 

No camper van, trailer or boat access to the property.
