What People Say

Here's what people have to say about their stay at the Ultimate Hideaway...

"The Ultimate Hideaway is exactly that- The 'Ultimate Hideaway' Take a break from the fast lane and enjoy unbelievable fishing and seafood, take in the beautiful white sand beaches, the scenery, and mix with the friendly locals. You will enjoy it!! Thanks Ross and Kath for the Ultimate Hideaway experience. It's what keeps us coming back every year."  - Graeme and Margaret McAllansmith, Waiuku.

"Great facilities are only exceeded by the personalities and friendliness of the hosts.Because of Ross and Kath's having lived on the Chathams for over 25 years, they are able to arrange any of the many activities you may wish to do. Never a dull moment!!: - Mark Nobilo, Muriwai.

"They say the further south you travel, the friendlier people are. WRONG! The further east you travel, the friendlier people are. The fishing is better too." - John Webber, Auckland.

"Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Kaingaroa. You and Kath gave us such a warm welcome when we arrived.Everyone we met was the same. As promised we got our paua, crayfish, hapuka and blue cod. (Even caught a couple of cod off the wharf !!) We explored the whole island by car- it's such a beautiful place. I am sure we will be back." - Rick and Liz, Whangarei

"A holiday in the Chatham Islands. Thought of it? Well, you definately should!! If you enjoy the pleasure of fishing or hunting (no rabbits, but plenty of pigs) then don't leave it any longer.The place to stay is the Ultimate Hideaway courtesy of Ross and Kath Morrison. Kath is the Ultimate Mother Teresa.She will look after all your food requirements as well as being kind and friendly. Her husband Ross is the Ultimate convivial host- full of stories both true and false!! Fabulous place to stay. I've been back four times."- Bryce Buchanan, Leeston
