Chris and Alissa Mckenzie
We're passionate about the outdoors, adventure, and the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand, and feel incredibly privileged to call Fiordland home. Together with our two small children, we have created this luxury retreat on our own property so guests can experience the same sense of peace, beauty, and connection to nature that we enjoy every day.
What began as a dream to share our little slice of paradise has become a thoughtfully designed escape where comfort, privacy, and stunning surroundings come together. Every detail has been chosen with care—from the premium furnishings and luxurious bedding to the spaces that showcase the spectacular views that first made us fall in love with this location.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a chance to reconnect with nature, or simply a place to slow down and unwind, we hope you’ll feel as relaxed and inspired here as we do. We love welcoming guests from around the world and sharing the unique beauty, adventure, and tranquillity that make this corner of New Zealand so special.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
We are passionate about protecting the natural beauty of Fiordland for future generations.
Here at Te Anau Hilltop Hideaway solar panels and batteries provide renewable energy throughout your stay, pure rainwater is collected from the roof and goes through various filters to provide fresh drinking water to the whole property and all wastewater is managed on site. We use ecostore products throughout the accommodation and the private hot tub uses a chlorine free treatment, that is gentler on skin, hair and clothing.
We encourage guests to recycle where possible and respect the local environment and wildlife. Every small action helps preserve this special place for everyone to enjoy.
