Things to Do

THINGS TO DO

At Elevate Escape, you'll find a haven for both relaxation and connection. You will find yourselves entranced by the stunning view, the incredible sunrises, colourful clouds, graceful flight of birds or the passing boats in the distance. Indulge in the pleasure of an outdoor bath - or for a truly tranquil experience, sleep under the stars on a bed that rolls onto the deck.

For those seeking a bit of activity, an adventurous bush walk is available right on the property. Alternatively, you can explore the numerous beaches along the stunning Bay of Islands coast. Or visit historic Russell village for a bit of cultural history.

For a special adventure, consider embarking on an exclusive yacht charter for day and overnight trips. Book here to savour a beautiful unique private sailing experience to islands such as Waewaetorea and Urupukapuka, which are both viewable from Elevate Escape!

Your Hosts

YOUR HOSTS

Your host at Elevate Escape is Iona, who will be available for any queries prior to or during your stay.

The owner of Elevate Estate, Lewis Allen, purchased the property in 2021. After sailing across the Pacific Ocean and landing in the Bay of Islands, he was completely captivated by the spectacular views from the hilltop. He was inspired to create a hilltop retreat and felt compelled to share it with others. He developed the property, had the one-of-a-kind craftsman-built cabin transported to the site, and added an incredible cliffside bathtub to enhance the experience.

Lewis also runs Elevate Charters, a catamaran yacht charter and water activities business, which you are welcome to book for a day trip during your stay.

The name "Elevate Escape" reflects the idea of rising above it all and leaving your worries behind in the valley. It's a place to unplug, reconnect and recharge.

“ Absolute heaven! The sun-filled cabin with expansive ocean and island views was the perfect retreat from the stresses of everyday life. Waking up to the magnificent sunrises and spending the evenings by the cosy fireplace, enchanted by the starry night sky, was truly magical. Highly recommend for a complete break away. The perfect place to restore and realign with the natural rhythms of nature. ”
