I had the pleasure of spending two full days and one night at the Hideaway and it was truly a wonderful experience for many reasons. The facilities are charming, although not swank, and you have everything you need including a warm shower. The picture postcard setting seals the deal, and I had a most relaxing afternoon reading and napping in... More

I had a really enjoyable time at the Hideaway. The rooms are basic but clean and have all you really need. Taki and his family were friendly and helpful. The meals are great. Even though I was there in the whale watching off season, there was still lots to do and at very reasonable prices. It really is a lovely... More

My girls (4 and 6) and I spent two weeks staying at Hideaway and we had a lovely time. It wasn't even the whale watching season and there was plenty to do with the beautiful walks, swimming etc. Their website doesn't really show the beautiful beaches that are on the island - one a five minute walk from hideaway through...

We've stayed at the Hideaway for two nights and had a great time. Taki and his family are very helpful and take you to all the places you want, free of charge. The accommodation is basic and maybe needs some tender, love and care at some points but the location, the view and the service make more than up for... More

We saw a whale swim by while eating breakfast on our last morning - what an amazing treat to top off a wonderful few days! It was the very last whale of the season. We hadn't gone to Eua for the whale season, we had gone to do some research. Taki and his team (and especially our guide Jo and... More

The room itself was a bit spartan, but the showers have hot water and the common areas are perfect for lounging, watching the water, and reading. There is even wifi, in case you want to catch up on email while the tide slowly rolls in. Taki was extremely helpful in planning day trips around the island and provided drop off... More

We flew into Eua for the day from our base in Tonga. We arrived with no plans apart from a desire to do one of the numerous walks we'd read about. A fellow Kiwi very kindly offered us a lift from the airport and after a brief discussion ended up dropping us off at Hideaway. Taki couldn't have been more... More

However it is not just long term guests that receives a place in the heart... More

This was my third visit to 'Eua and The Hideaway - we love it so much we bought our mother with us this time. Staying at the Hideaway is like being at home - Taki and family and his staff make everyone feel welcome whether you are traveling by yourself, as a group or couple. There is a range of... More
